Anthem Insurance Companies Inc. Taps Zagat Survey to Help Consumers

Anthem Insurance Companies Inc. announced the launch of the Zagat Health Survey tool, an online survey tool that will allow its members to share their physician experiences with other members throughout the state. Working with Zagat Survey, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Indiana is helping to address an unmet need for peer-to-peer interaction among health care consumers. The Zagat Health Survey tool provides a vehicle for members to review physicians based on a set of distinct criteria, creating a trusted resource to support informed member decision-making. The criteria are solely designed to reflect a consumer's experience with a physician and not to reflect the quality of care received. This tool not only helps members, but is also designed to assist doctors in understanding members' experiences. Members are also asked whether they would recommend their doctor to others. The survey also features a comments section, allowing members to explain their ratings. For each network physician, the online entry will display contact information, ratings on a 30-point scale for each of the four categories, and the percentage of members who recommend that physician. The most recent comments will be displayed first, and members will have the option to rate the usefulness of comments and report suspicious comments.
