| Blind Tests FAQ |

Why take the blind test? |
 |
Delphi’s goal is to help employers and employees alike understand how decisions are made when selecting a physician or facility with limited or no information. This test represents a typical example of how someone might choose a healthcare provider. Pertinent healthcare information once invisible to both employers and employees is now available through Delphi. As a unique source of healthcare information, Delphi guides members through the medical maze, resulting in patients becoming knowledgeable purchasers of healthcare. This in turn reduces costs to employers and yields better outcomes for all. |

What is the importance of taking this test? |
|
The results of the blind test would obviously be different if employees were made aware of pertinent information of their provider selection. Delphi’s goal is to help patients understand and base their decision on quality, physician’s case load of that procedure, total cost of the procedure, etc. Revealing this data has proven to have a positive affect...people make informed medical decisions, healthy choices, successfully manage their own health, and make the best use of limited health care resources. With Delphi’s Medical Advocate Program (MAPSM) healthcare information becomes apparent and members are assigned a MAPSM representative who acts as an advocate whose only goal is to achieve the highest quality and most cost-effective healthcare available.

How does Delphi select providers?
|
|
Delphi chooses providers for a patient's specific medical condition based on quality, number of cases or procedures performed, and MAPSM's credentialing process. The selection is further confirmed by reviewing provider peer studies, provider cost reports, market research data, etc.
