DentaQuest has received
Certification status
in Credentialing and Recredentialing by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), an
independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to assessing and reporting
on the quality of healthcare. This certification status is presented to health
care organizations that meet NCQA’s standards in providing high-quality
services to their members.
“We
are proud to announce this prestigious certification and to be recognized as a
high-quality dental insurer by NCQA,” said Fay Donohue, President and Chief
Executive Officer at DentaQuest. “DentaQuest is committed to providing our
members with the most cost-effective and comprehensive plans. Our mission is
and has always been to improve the oral health of all and, with this
certification, we can continue to guarantee our members that they are receiving
the best possible coverage.”
NCQA‘s
certification review process includes on- and off-site evaluations conducted by
a team of clinical and managed care experts. The findings are then reviewed and
analyzed by an oversight committee of clinicians that assigns a certification
status based on the organization’s performance. DentaQuest’s assigned status is
effective through 2016.
