Medicaid Quality of Care

Childhood Immunizations

Star ratings and state averages were not computed for Medicaid plans since only two planis submit HEDIS data to the state. Performance measures should be compared to the national average.

REMEMBER: Differences between HMOs may be caused by differences in performance OR by differences in data collection.
