Yes. Some appendices were removed from the publication. This approach for HEDIS MY 2026 reduced redundancy, considered the broader product changes and whether users might prefer to engage with information outside the publication.
For example, as an alternative to Appendix 2: Technical Considerations for New Measures, clinical guideline recommendations for each measure are included directly in the measure specifications. NCQA also updated the State of Health Care Quality Report to reflect the latest HEDIS measure set release, including new measures for MY 2026. The State of Health Care Quality Report is publicly available at NCQA.org.
NCQA is committed to supporting stakeholders who use HEDIS, and we welcome feedback as we continue to evolve HEDIS.
