Provider Performance Ratings

We want to help you make better choices about your health care. Performance ratings highlight providers who meet specific quality and cost-efficiency standards. You can check a provider’s ratings using the TRICARE East Find Care tool. The ratings help consolidate information to help you decide about your health care and service locations.

What Are Provider Performance Ratings?

We show ratings next to some providers to show the quality and efficiency of the care they offer. If a provider lacks these ratings, it means they did not meet the criteria for evaluation. 

We rate providers based on their specialty. We also compare them to others in the same specialty within the same state. Some providers may not have ratings because:

We do not rate all specialties
Providers do not meet minimum requirements
