I say this knowing a couple of things, I believe:
1) It’s not perfect. Nowhere close.
2) There’s a chicken or the egg scenario. The network is incomplete so practices/entities don’t join. But the network is incomplete because practices/entities don’t join.
Having said that…..is it any level helpful? Has it given you any benefit at all? Or is the level of dissatisfaction so high that you’ve given up (for now)?
Allow me an equivalent. We subscribe to the Advanced Plan for Health population health tool. It gives us every claim filed for one of our corporate clients, no matter who rendered the service - hospital, lab, pharmacy, DME, physician, etc. But…..some of the data is lacking, or just plain bad. However, the shortcomings don’t keep us from using it - we just work around the faults.
Thanks.
