Who does URAC accredit?
URAC accredits many types of health care organizations. It depends on the functions they carry out. We have a number of different accreditation programs, some that review the entire organization, such as the health plan standards, and some that focus on quality within a single functional area in an organization, e.g. case management or credentialing. Any organization that meets the standards, including hospitals, HMOs, PPOs, TPAs and provider groups can seek accreditation. Accreditation adds value to these programs by providing an external seal of approval, and by promoting quality improvement within the organization as part of the accreditation process.
