Quick look: How to prepare for an NCQA audit

If you're looking to achieve an NCQA certification and don't have a process in place, it can feel like aiming darts at a bullseye in the dark. Reference this information to help you prepare.

Review the requirements

Familiarize yourself with the NCQA standards to know what to expect during the audit. Site visits are a standard part of the typical survey. Now, the NCQA spends one or two days onsite at an organization conducting file reviews via desktop sharing over conference software and call lines.

Self-assess

Conduct a self-assessment to identify areas for improvement within your organization and align policies and procedures with the NCQA standards.

Leverage modern technology

Use modern technology like Medallion to provide checklists, gap analyses and action plans to address any identified missed opportunities.

Do internal training and monitoring

Keep your credentialing packets up-to-date and ensure your providers meet the NCQA standards for credentialing and privilege. Conduct internal training and review ongoing monitoring reports regularly.
