Tradition of NCQA Excellence Continues

HealthPartners delivers true value to your clients.
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has again awarded HealthPartners "Excellent" accreditation status for both its commercial HMO/POS and Medicare Advantage product lines.
NCQA's rigorous accreditation program evaluates how our managed care plans are organized and operated. Teams of doctors and other industry experts compare plans to more than 60 different standards. The survey evaluates medical procedures and outcomes, as well as provider credentials and customer satisfaction with their health plan. Categories include: Access and Service, Qualified Providers, Staying Healthy, Getting Better and Living with Illness.
Once again, HealthPartners' scores in disease management, women's health, children's health and preventive services were exceptionally high. These outstanding scores are the direct result of our integrated approach to coordination of care for disease management and pay-for-performance initiatives that reward provider performance.
How does this apply to my clients?
Since half of all HMO programs are NCQA-accredited, HEDIS provides the data you need to evaluate the quality of the different plans you present to clients so that they can make coverage decisions based on demonstrated value.
