• Designated Providers for Psychiatry and Behavioral Health

____________________________________________________________________

Per Aetna Website:

It’s a designation we give to doctors in our network who have proven time and again that they provide a higher standard of clinical quality, effective care or both.

We look at multiple data points, including health information, claims data and results, to see how all our network doctors perform. Then, we assign this special designation to those exceeding expectations in:
 

• Quality, or positive health improvements; and
• Effectiveness, or timely, lower-cost care

Aetna Smart Compare analyzes physician practices, so we can provide members actionable information about high-quality, most effective physicians in their plan networks. We incorporated a clinical quality gate within the evaluation phase of the designation review process. We recommend designated physicians to members through mail, email, and our authenticated portals.
