The NCQA Health Outcomes Accreditation evaluates how effectively a health plan improves access to care, enhances member experiences, and addresses obstacles that affect health outcomes. The NCQA Community-Focused Care Accreditation builds on this by requiring plans to gather detailed information about members’ social needs and work with community organizations to meet those needs, including assistance with housing, food, transportation, and other essential services. Together, these accreditations demonstrate that Wellpoint DC has robust systems in place to provide fair, respectful, and effective care for all members, particularly those facing social and health disparities.
These new awards come just three months after Wellpoint DC achieved Full NCQA Health Plan Accreditation with a perfect score of 141 out of 141, further reinforcing the organization’s leadership in quality, equity, and patient-centered care among Medicaid plans in the District. Margaret E. O’Kane, President of NCQA, praised Wellpoint DC’s accomplishment, noting that the Community-Focused Care Accreditation recognizes organizations that are bridging gaps in care for racial and ethnic minority populations and setting a standard for inclusive, equitable healthcare delivery.
Wellpoint DC’s triple NCQA recognition highlights its role as a pioneer in Medicaid managed care in Washington, D.C., demonstrating a commitment to improving health outcomes, addressing social needs, and ensuring all members receive high-quality, compassionate care.
