WASHINGTON, DC— The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) announced twenty-three vendors earned certification for their software code that produces administrative measure results related to the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®).
NCQA Measure Certification proves vendors have the ability to produce accurate and reliable results using their software code. Health plans using NCQA-Certified vendors save time by eliminating the manual source code review portion of the HEDIS Compliance Audit and P4P Audit Review.
HEDIS Measure Certification testing concluded March 1, 2016. The following vendors received special recognition for completing full HEDIS certification at least two weeks ahead of the deadline:
- Altegra Health Operating Company
- Interpreta, Inc.
- Advantmed, LLC
- Thrasys, Inc
- Citra Health Solutions
- IMI Health
- Cognizant Technology Solutions
- Verisk Health, Inc.
- Optum Insight, Inc.
In addition, some vendors are participating in only Partial Measure Certification, which is a subset of HEDIS measures or the Integrated Healthcare Association’s (IHA) California Pay for Performance (P4P) measurement set.
This vendor received special recognition for completing partial HEDIS certification at least two weeks ahead of the deadline:
- Milliman, Inc.
