How the NCQA rates health plans
Survey teams of physicians and managed care experts conduct the NCQA's accreditation survey process. In addition to an on-site review, the NCQA evaluates annual data on key clinical and service measures such as mammography screening rates, smoking cessation efforts and consumer satisfaction.
A national oversight committee of physicians analyzes the team's survey and assigns one of five possible accreditation levels:
- Excellent
- Commendable
- Accredited
- Provisional
- Denied
About the NCQA
The National Committee for Quality Assurance is a nationally recognized, independent nonprofit organization that measures the quality of health care and health plans in the United States. The rigorous accreditation process is a voluntary review process and has been well received by the health maintenance organization community, with nearly half of the country's HMOs participating.
