The California Office of the Patient Advocate released its annual Healthcare Quality Report Card. The 2013 report card (http://www.opa.ca.gov/report_card/) provides California consumers with side-by-side comparisons of the largest health plans in the state (10 HMOs and six PPOs), ranking them on national standard-of-care measures that involve treatment and prevention of a range of acute and chronic conditions with significant implications for personal health.
The 2013 report card is available at http://reportcard.opa.ca.gov/rc2013/
