Recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) in its Back Pain Recognition Program
As a commitment
to quality, North Jersey Spine Group
was one of the first spine centers
in the state of New Jersey to publish a Clinical
Outcome Report Card for health
insurance companies.
And
in February 2009, North Jersey
Spine Group has been granted 2 year Recognition by the
National Committee
for Quality Assurance
(NCQA) in their Back
Pain program.  The Back Pain Recognition Program (BPRP) was designed to improve the quality of care to the 30 million Americans who experience low back pain. The quality recognition program also motivates other physicians to document and improve their delivery of spine care.
To receive recognition from NCQA, which is valid for two years, North Jersey Spine Group submitted data demonstrating performance that meets the NCQA’s program key measures. The measures include appropriate imaging for acute back pain and recommendation for exercise and other non-surgical spine care treatment options.
Back pain is among the most common ailments in America. Each year, nearly 1 in 9 Americans experience pain severe enough to impair their usual daily activities. Treatment costs $91 billion a year and accounts for 25 percent of all workers’ compensation claims. For an in-depth look at the causes and treatment of back pain, click here.
The Back Pain Recognition Program is the first independent program to systematically evaluate back pain care. NCQA developed the program’s requirements from widely accepted medical evidence with significant input from back pain specialists and health plan and employer representatives.
Physicians and spine centers that are Recognized by the program provide their patients with the care that best meets their needs, restores health and mobility and avoids unnecessary treatment and procedures.
A list of Recognized providers is available at www.ncqa.org (new window will open).
