Health Net is subject to various statutory, regulatory and accreditation requirements, and must ensure that all agreements comply with any such mandates. Accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is critical to both the health plan and network providers, and ensures that Health Net meets the highest possible standards of excellence and care.
One of the requirements of NCQA is that Health Net may use practitioner performance data for quality improvement activities. Therefore, Health Net's contract templates have been updated with the following language:
Provider agrees to cooperate with quality management and improvement (QI) activities; maintain the confidentiality of member information and records pursuant to this agreement; and allow Health Net to use provider's performance data.
