Quality, HEDIS & STARS


Quality care and preventative services are key to contributing to a healthy community. Nivano Physicians holds both Medi-Cal and Medicare contracts. Both lines of business have their own tools to measure an IPA and a provider’s performance on specific preventive measures. Medi-Cal uses HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) and Medicare uses Star rating. These measurement tools include measures ranging from children annual well visits, women’s health and disease management.


Our Mission


Our mission and commitment to you is to provide the most up to date reporting in order for you to be successful at addressing any care gaps. We also want to provide you with as many tools and resources as possible to ensure quality and timely access to care for our members


What is Being Measured?


HEDIS and Stars allow us to review provider performance and make sure they are offering quality care to our members by condensing all of the measures into three key areas:


  1. Providing preventative health and following a care plan to keep those who are sick from getting worse.
  2. Making sure those who need critical services are able to receive them and anyone who can help is involved in member care if necessary.
  3. Ensures that everyone who needs an appointment can get one within a reasonable timeframe.
