We applaud the role you play in our members' health. To support your efforts and continuously improve the satisfaction of our members, we have adopted national practice parameters for disease management. Our goal in adopting national parameters is to help our members attain optimal quality of life. The parameters are provided to physicians for use as guidelines to assist them in clinical decision-making, and are not intended to be rigid standards.
