Priority Health Quality Awards recognize
Pine Medical Group for excellence in health care
Priority Health, one of the nation’s top health plans, has awarded Quality Awards to 136 physician practices throughout Michigan. The quality awards were established by Priority Health to recognize excellence in health care. Quality Awards are presented in two categories: Excellent Patient Care and Outstanding Health Care Value. Among the honorees, 52 practices won both awards, Pine Medical Group being one of those practices.
“Priority Health strives to provide excellent and affordable health care to our 500,000 members,” said Dr. Jim Byrne, chief medical officer of Priority Health. “Our success in this area is due to the work of our provider network, which regularly exceeds national benchmarks for quality care in areas such as cancer screenings and other preventive services.”
Priority Health analyzes the highest-performing practices within its 14,000 member provider network through its Partners in Performance program. This physician incentive plan was established more than 10 years ago and has been recognized by the National Business Coalition on Health for effectively rewarding physicians for providing high-quality and cost-efficient care for patients.
