NCQA vs. URAC:
Your Accreditation Decision Guide
Thinking about NCQA accreditation but not sure it’s worth it?
Here’s something most organizations don’t realize: NCQA’s automatic credit policy can dramatically reduce your workload and risk.
When you delegate functions to an NCQA-accredited entity, those delegated areas are automatically deemed compliant—no matter what’s in the files—because NCQA has already reviewed them.
That means less time scrambling before surveys, fewer points at risk, and greater confidence in your compliance. In short, NCQA accreditation doesn’t just raise your standards—it protects your score.
