Health Plan Performance and NCQA’s Equity Measures
Understanding NCQA’s Equity Measures
The NCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance) rates health plans annually, focusing on various metrics that influence care quality. In 2024, health plans scored lower on equity measures, illustrating challenges in providing equitable healthcare access.
Key Findings on Health Equity
- Insurers showed a decline in equity-related performance.
- Patient experiences improved, suggesting a dual focus in evaluating care quality.
- Equity remains a key concern in healthcare delivery.
This dip in equity ratings highlights the critical areas where health plans must enhance their strategies to cater to all populations effectively.
