Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) complies with state and national demands for accountability by collecting performance data using the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS^®).  HEDIS is the most widely used and nationally accepted effectiveness of care measurement tool available.  The results are utilized to ensure that our members are getting the best healthcare possible, so it is important that our Providers understand the HEDIS specifications and guidelines.

We want to simplify the process by including the list below of BCBSTX’s MY2022 Measures and important HEDIS dates.

In early February 2023, BCBSTX will contact your office to verify the medical record point of contact and provide you with necessary documents for HEDIS MY2022.

If you have any questions, please contact Diane Medders by e-mail.  Please do not include Protected Health Information (PHI) in the email.

We greatly appreciate your assistance and the care you provide our members and your patients.
