2009 MA Deeming Program
The content of NCQA’s 2009 MA deeming modules for both MCOs and PPOs has been approved by CMS. Plans may now submit applications and can be scheduled for MA Deeming Surveys under the 2009 standards.
To be eligible for NCQA’s Deeming Program, plans must complete a survey of the Health Plan accreditation standards for their Medicare product line, in addition to standards in the MA deeming module of federal requirements for Medicare plans. For MA organizations, the NCQA Deeming Program consists of the NCQA 2009 HP Accreditation, plus the additional MA Module. The 2009 MA module became effective July 1, 2009.
