Approximately $1.8 million in bonus payments went from UnitedHealthcare to 50 Rhode Island care providers named winners of the PATH Excellence in Patient Service Awards, the insurer announced last week.

According to a statement, award recipients achieved the highest adherence levels for key quality measures by closing gaps in care when treating UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage members. The award winners were among more than 4,000 care providers nationwide who received the award and earned more than $54 million in bonus payments.
