GeoAccess

GeoAccess is industry standard software that is used to illustrate how accessible network hospitals and physicians are to employees. It is based on the zip code information provided for each employee. It is one of the first steps in determining whether a network is appropriate for your client.

The report is run based on agreed upon accessibility standards. A common standard is to have one hospital within 15 miles of each employee and 2 physicians in 8 miles of each employee. These standards can be adjusted up or down for each service.

The GeoAccess summary report expresses accessibility in terms of the percentage of employees that fall within the agreed upon standard. A great deal of support detail is available that can help determine whether there are geographic gaps in the network that need to be addressed.

You can electronically submit your client’s employee zip code data to HCPC. We will generate a report for you within 48 hours.

Please e-mail the zip code information to:   trusso@hcpc.org
