NCQA Accreditation measures the following five areas of performance:
Health plan activities that help people maintain good health and avoid illness: Does the plan give its doctors guidelines about how to provide appropriate preventive health services? Do members receive appropriate tests and screenings?
Health plan activities that help people recover from illness: How does the plan evaluate new medical procedures, drugs and devices to ensure that patients have access to the most up-to-date care? Do doctors in the plan’s network advise patients to quit smoking?
Health plan activities that help people manage chronic illness: Does the plan have programs in place to help patients manage chronic conditions like asthma? Do diabetics, who are at risk for blindness, receive eye exams as needed?
Health plan members’ access to needed care and good customer service: Are there enough primary care doctors and specialists to serve all plan members? Do members report problems getting needed care? How well does the plan follow up on grievances?
Health plan efforts to ensure that each doctor is licensed and trained to practice medicine and that plan members are happy with their doctors: Does the plan check whether physicians have had sanctions or lawsuits against them? How do plan members rate their personal doctors or nurses?
