Cost Category
The cost performance category evaluates relative cost efficiency based on performance. Cost measures are risk-adjusted, accounting for variations in clinician costs due to patient age, comorbidities, and other factors. All measures use attribution methodologies based on service and diagnosis information from administrative claims data to identify care provided by a specific clinician or group.
