Consumer Checkbook Releases Report of Patients' Experiences with Doctors

Washington, D.C.-based Consumer Checkbook/Center for the Study of Services, a non-profit consumer organization, today released ratings and reports on hundreds of individual doctors in Memphis, TN; Denver, CO; and Kansas City, MO. Major national health plans Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare participated along with regional health plan leaders Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City as well as BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee.

The reports on doctors are available free to the public at a CHECKBOOK website (www.checkbook.org/patientcentral) and also through the website of a healthcare coalition in each metro area—the Kansas City Quality Improvement Consortium, the Colorado Business Group on Health, and (in the near future) Healthy Memphis Common Table.
