October 09 2018 - 12:00PM
Business Wire
Health Net, a subsidiary of Centene Corporation, has achieved
national Health Plan Accreditation with a Commendable status from
the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). The NCQA
evaluates how well a health plan manages all parts of its delivery
system – physicians, hospitals, other providers, and administrative
services in order to continuously improve the quality of care and
services provided to its members. NCQA raised its rating from
“Accredited” to “Commendable” for two plans under the Health Net of
California, Inc. umbrella:
- Health Net of California, Inc.’s
commercial HMO/POS health plan.
- Health Net Life Insurance Company of
California’s commercial PPO health plan.
“Ensuring our members are receiving comprehensive, quality
healthcare is our top priority,” said Steven Sell, president of
Health Net of California. “This rating reflects that focus and
drives us daily to transform the health of our community, one
person at a time.”
Health Net serves over 3.1 million members in their commercial
and government sponsored health care plans. Through devoted
efforts, Health Net has improved health and wellness outcomes for
its members by:
- Increasing awareness of breast,
cervical, and colorectal screenings
- Providing members with online resources
to assist with depression, anxiety, and chronic pain
- Sharing best practices on opioid and
back pain issues in a statewide forum
- Pharmacists calling members and
reminding them to take their medicine as scheduled
“Achieving an accreditation status of Commendable from NCQA is a
sign that a health plan is serious about quality,” said Margaret E.
O’Kane, NCQA president. “It is awarded to plans whose service and
clinical quality meet or exceed NCQA’s rigorous requirements for
consumer protection and quality improvement.” NCQA Health Plan
Accreditation is a nationally recognized evaluation that
purchasers, regulators and consumers can use to assess health
plans.
