About NCQA
A health plan may not be listed on this site for any of these reasons:
-
Plans use many different names in the different areas they serve. If your plan is not listed,
be sure to review the list of additional names your health plan may use to see if it is included under a
different name on our report card. Additional plan names are listed under the plan name on the search results page.
-
Some health plans choose not to participate in NCQA’s programs. Enrolling in an NCQA Accredited plan is one of
the best ways to ensure that you and your family will get the care, service and consideration you need,
when you need it. Contact your plan to see if they have applied for and received NCQA Accreditation.
If a plan chooses not to be reviewed by NCQA, you should ask: Why not?
If you receive health care coverage through your employer, talk with them about offering NCQA-accredited
plans. Health plans are more likely to focus on quality and seek accreditation if encouraged to do so by
health plan members and employers who make decisions about which plans to choose.

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is a private, 501(c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of health care. Since its founding in 1990, NCQA has been a central figure in driving improvement throughout the health care system, helping to elevate the issue of health care quality to the top of the national agenda.
NCQA develops quality standards and performance measures for a broad range of health care organizations. These measures and standards are the tools that can be used to identify areas of care that need improvement. By reporting the results of these evaluations to the public every year, NCQA informs the public and helps to drive the American health care system to a higher level of performance.
