AmeriHealth Caritas Ohio Earns NCQA Health Plan Accreditation
December 4, 2024
AmeriHealth Caritas Ohio has demonstrated its commitment to quality through earning health plan accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).
The managed care organization serving Ohio Medicaid enrollees achieved accreditation by completing NCQA’s rigorous accreditation process. This included strong performance on Healthcare Effectiveness and Data Information Set (HEDIS®) measures and Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) surveys.
“We embrace Ohio Department of Medicaid’s goals for its Next Generation of Medicaid Managed Care: improving wellness and health outcomes, emphasizing a personalized care experience, supporting providers in better patient care, improving care for those with complex needs, and increasing transparency and accountability. Meeting NCQA’s high accreditation standards shows that we share the department’s desire to build a Medicaid program that better serves the Ohioans who need it,” said AmeriHealth Caritas Ohio Market President and CEO Mark Grippi.
AmeriHealth Caritas Ohio began serving Ohio Medicaid enrollees in February 2023, helping Ohioans get care, stay well, and build healthy communities by addressing the acute and broader social factors that drive health outcomes.
