About us
At NCQA, we are driven by a clear mission to improve the quality of health care and a vision of better health care, better choices, and better health for everyone. We lead the way in transforming health care by identifying what works, evaluating how well health plans and providers deliver scientifically recommended care, and recognizing organizations that are structured to support high-quality outcomes. Our work is grounded in evidence and focused on impact. Every year, our efforts help save lives, keep millions of people healthier, and reduce costs across the health care system. The NCQA seal has become a trusted symbol of quality, earned only by organizations that undergo a rigorous review process and commit to ongoing performance reporting. We believe in a simple but powerful approach to improvement: measure, analyze, improve, and repeat. By developing quality standards and performance measures for a wide range of health care entities, we make this cycle possible and effective. The results speak for themselves—year after year, we see measurable improvements in care quality, more informed providers, and more engaged patients. These gains translate into lives saved, illnesses prevented, and billions of dollars in savings. NCQA continues to raise the bar. Health plans seeking accreditation must meet demanding standards and report on performance in over 40 areas. These requirements encourage the adoption of strategies that improve care, enhance service, and reduce costs—setting a higher standard for the entire industry.
