What kind of accreditation (voluntary third-party review of a health plans policies and procedures) has the health plan received?
Ask if the plan has been reviewed by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), The American Accreditation Healthcare Commission/URAC, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), or other recognized accreditation organization; determine status of accreditation and date of reaccreditation. Ask your employer or health plan if you desire additional information on accreditation standards or protocols. Most accrediting organizations make information on accreditation decisions available on the Internet or through their offices. Contact information for the three main accrediting organizations has been provided at the end of this checklist.
