There are differences in how easy HMOs make it for people to get care that keeps them healthy and catches their medical problem before it gets serious. Some HMOs, for example, send notices to patients reminding them to get check-ups, shots and regular tests. The circles on this page summarize how well New Jersey HMOs provide their members with preventive care. Results are based on information in HMO records and were verified by an organization not affiliated with the HMOs. All circles show the results of statistical tests between each HMO's score and the average for the New Jersey HMOs that reported results.
Differences are statistically significant.
Circles reflect HMO scores that differ from the New Jersey average by at least 5 percentage points. Either the HMO did not report this measure due to data problems or the data that the HMO submitted failed to meet the state's audit requirements.
