Administered in July 2022 to the health plan's provider network by mail and email through a third party vendor, the annual survey measures provider satisfaction with the services and support received directly from IEHP. The survey included responses from the health plan's primary care physicians, specialists and behavioral health providers.

The survey focused on key drivers of provider satisfaction, including: overall satisfaction with IEHP's call center service, access to knowledgeable staff, and procedures for obtaining pre-certification/referral/authorization information.

"Every response we receive from our providers directly impacts our collaborative and continued work forward," said Susie White, IEHP's chief operating officer. "We truly value our providers' feedback as it help us identify areas to better serve and improve, so they can offer the best care possible with the confidence and support they need."

Consistent with 2021's survey results, 98.2% of providers shared they would recommend IEHP to other physician practices. Broken down by category, IEHP ranked within the 99th percentile for pharmacy and call center support and saw great improvements in the telehealth category of the survey.

In addition to outlining improvements, the survey also highlighted new opportunities for growth. "Like our providers, we never want to stay stagnant in our service quality," said White. "Together, we've identified new areas to focus on, like provider relations and timely access to support, and look forward to implementing new processes, strategies and touchpoints to meet providers where they are."
