Certification supports Signify Health’s expanded in-home
diagnostic and preventive screenings for at-risk health plan
members
Signify Health (NYSE: SGFY), a leading healthcare platform that
leverages advanced analytics, technology, and nationwide healthcare
networks to create and power value-based payment programs, has
again achieved the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
certification for the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information
Set (HEDIS®). This is the second year in which the Company has
received this certification.
NCQA provides accreditations and certifications to evaluate a
wide range of organizations across the healthcare system. More than
90 percent of health plans in the United States, covering 190
million people, rely on NCQA’s HEDIS measurement tool.
The methodology that Signify Health uses to identify Medicare
members who have gaps in their care and would benefit from in-home
diagnostic testing was evaluated and certified by NCQA. Receiving
this certification allows Signify Health to provide services that
align with the industry's most rigorous data assessment processes,
resulting in more accurate and timely clinical services for
eligible members.
“Through our comprehensive data set and analytics, Signify
Health is able to effectively identify at-risk patients and connect
them with the appropriate diagnostic and preventive services,” said
Marc Rothman, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Signify Health. “We are
proud to once again have achieved this NCQA certification,
demonstrating our ability to effectively identify gaps in care and
to support access to high-quality health services.”
NCQA HEDIS measures relate to many of the most significant
chronic health conditions facing seniors in Medicare. In 2021,
Signify Health announced the certifications for diabetes care,
kidney health evaluation in patients with diabetes, colorectal
cancer screening, and osteoporosis management in women.
In 2022, Signify Health was recertified for all of the measures
from 2021 that are still recognized by NCQA and expanded its
certification to include osteoporosis screening as a preventive
measure for older women who have not had a fracture. Osteoporosis
is a serious bone disease that impacts the quality of life,
especially for women aged 67-85. With the appropriate screenings
and interventions, the risk of future bone fractures related to
osteoporosis can be reduced.
