No. Effective immediately, organizations receive automatic credit for the delegation agreement semiannual reporting requirement and delegation oversight semiannual report evaluation requirements in Elements A and C, when an NCQA-Accredited or Certified delegate performs an NCQA-required activity. For example, UM 12, Element A, factor 3 and UM 12, Element C, factor 4 do not apply to a delegate that is NCQA-Accredited or Certified.
If a delegate is no longer NCQA-Accredited or Certified, the organization must immediately begin evaluating semiannual performance reports from the delegate.
