Federal Employee Program (FEP): Focus on HEDIS® Measures
Providing high-quality care starts with delivering the right services at the right time. HEDIS® measures play a key role in helping providers track performance, close care gaps and improve outcomes for patients enrolled in the Federal Employee Program (FEP).
Strong HEDIS performance reflects a commitment to timely, appropriate and evidence-based care. These measures help providers:
- Identify gaps in preventive and chronic care
- Monitor progress and drive continuous improvement
- Support value-based care initiatives and performance programs
- Demonstrate dedication to high-quality patient outcomes
Providers caring for FEP members are encouraged to prioritize the following high-impact measures:
- AAB – Avoidance of Antibiotic Treatment for Acute Bronchitis
- LBP – Appropriate Imaging for Low Back Pain
- GSD – Glycemic Status Assessment for Patients with Diabetes
- CBP – Controlling High Blood Pressure
- EDU – Reducing Avoidable Emergency Department Utilization
Providers play a critical role in improving quality outcomes by:
- Delivering recommended care within established timeframes
- Accurately documenting all services, results and applicable exclusions in the medical record
- Submitting claims with complete and correct diagnosis and procedure codes
HEDIS measures are more than reporting tools—they provide a roadmap for delivering better care. By closing care gaps and capturing the full scope of services provided, providers help improve patient outcomes, enhance the patient experience and strengthen overall quality performance across the FEP population.
