NCQA Accreditation Pitfalls Part 4: Member File reviews


 NCQA Accreditation Pitfalls Part 4: Member File reviews
There is always a member file review for both Health Plan and Disease management. I can’t emphasize enough to have technical people involved when creating the specifications for the file pull. If you have questions or concerns get them addressed by NCQA well in advance of doing the file pull. Go over the pull with your assigned NCQA rep to make sure the contents are exactly what NCQA is looking for. Do not give NCQA the minimum number of members. The point of the review is to prove that you are following for established policies and procedures.  This should relatively easy to do with the documentation you have already provided. This can be a nightmare if you are inconsistent in policies and procedures.
