In October 2019, Independence announced the new Provider Engagement Analytics and Reporting (PEAR) portal for participating providers. The PEAR portal provides fast, secure web access to applications designed to help you manage your clinical and certain financial activities. In addition, it is a vehicle for you to obtain a variety of health plan information, specific to your organization, about providing care for Independence membership. The first PEAR portal application introduced was the new provider reporting tool, IndexPro.

Our new article series, The Benefits of IndexPro, offers tips and information on how to use the reports and information on IndexPro as a supplement to the care you give to your patients, our members.

About IndexPro

IndexPro is an online, self-service, and on-demand reporting tool for providers in the Independence network. Through IndexPro, providers have access to timely data, including clinical care gaps (e.g., colorectal cancer screening, mammography, diabetic care, etc.), and actionable incentive program reports, delivered through a secure web connection. This centralized site allows providers to review and compare their performance to their peers and identify gaps in care and opportunities for improvement. IndexPro also provides a variety of practice-level reports and dashboards to show a real-time view of data specific to your practice or entity.

Tip of the week! Use IndexPro for disease management in patients

Throughout the course of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, your patients may have missed some preventive care visits. Unfortunately, patients with certain health conditions may be more at-risk for developing COVID-19. You can use the IndexPro disease management feature, to easily identify patients diagnosed with high-risk conditions and prioritize outreach and scheduling to help to ensure continual preventive care.
