OGM’s physician profiling program has been developed specifically for practicing
Ob-Gyns. Our unique patient attribution methodology coupled with creative
metrics allows us to generate profiling data that is credible and meaningful to
the practicing ob-gyn.
After distributing physician profiles, one of our ob-gyn medical directors will
assist local medical directors and meet with outliers to explain their profile.
The results are a significant reduction in hysterectomy rates that generates
savings of at least $3 per member per year. OGM’s physician profiling program
is an easy way to achieve utilization management with excellent ROI. It
requires no change in contracting and no information system re-configuring.
