The
National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has recognized
top-performing doctors treating patients with Diabetes in
Louisville for their participation in Bridges to Excellence
(BTE) pay-for-performance initiative. BTE was established
in 2002 to recognize and reward higher quality care and is
made up of physicians, health plans and several of the nation's
largest employers, including General Electric, UPS and Humana.
Since BTE’s launch in June 2003, the Louisville market
has grown from seven recognized physicians to 40 today-all
focused on treating patients with diabetes. From BTE’s
implementation in Louisville, the not-for-profit organization
has administered rewards in excess of $184,000 to Louisville
area physicians.
