NCQA Accreditation Offers Proof of Success

IEHP possesses the highest level of national accreditation for helping Members stay healthy and well.

IEHP’s Accredited Programs

As one of the first organizations to step up for review, IEHP received full Patient and Practitioner Oriented Accreditation for disease management from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).  This validates IEHP’s continuing efforts to ensuring only the highest quality of care for our Members.

Our Asthma, Diabetes, and High Risk Pregnancy management programs all maintain full NCQA accreditation.  As part of IEHP’s comprehensive Wellness Program, these initiatives help improve overall health for IEHP Members.

“Our care management nurses and coordinators focus on helping Members follow care plans with intervention strategies such as mailings, group classes, one-on-one counseling, and home visits,” explains Jeanna Kendrick, IEHP Health Management Manager. 

NCQA Review

As the most comprehensive review option, Patient and Practitioner Oriented Accreditation includes 32 standards focusing on:

● Program content

● Patient service

● Practitioner service

● Clinical systems

● Measurement and quality improvement

● Program operation

NCQA reviewed our program along many dimensions, with special emphasis on how well IEHP works with both Members and Doctors to improve health care and outcomes.

“NCQA’s Disease Management Accreditation program is thorough and rigorous,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “It’s designed to highlight only those programs that truly improve chronic care. It’s an accomplishment to be proud of.”
