Monogram Health Attains Prestigious NCQA Credentialing Accreditation
Recognition reflects company’s embrace of industry best practices and quality performance
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 21, 2024) — Monogram Health, the nation’s leading value-based provider of in-home, evidence-based care and benefit management services for patients living with chronic kidney (CKD) and end stage kidney disease (ESKD), has increased its portfolio of industry certifications by earning the Credentialing Accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). Its third accreditation from NCQA, the credentialling accreditation recognizes Monogram’s aptitude in the credentialing and recredentialing of its high-quality clinical staff and provider teams. The accreditation underscores Monogram’s commitment to providing safe, effective, outcomes-driven care for patients with polychronic conditions.
“Monogram Health is passionate about providing and managing best-in-class care, and we’re proud to receive this esteemed recognition of our efforts and clinical expertise,” said Katrina Cope, Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Implementations for Monogram Health. “Having achieved NCQA Population Health Program Accreditation in 2020, Case Management Accreditation in 2023 and Credentialing/Recredentialing Accreditation earlier this year, this acknowledgement is another important testament to Monogram’s impact as a leader in the kidney care space.”
Monogram’s innovative, next-generation model supports health plans, integrated delivery systems and risk-bearing platforms in maintaining regulatory compliance and providing timely, effective care. The company’s multispecialty provider teams of nephrologists, psychiatrists, endocrinologists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, palliative care specialists, nurse practitioners and social workers administer care for chronically complex patients in the home in accordance with evidence-based pathways and protocols.
“Achieving NCQA Credentialing Accreditation demonstrates that Monogram Health has the systems, process and personnel in place to conduct credentialing in accordance with the strictest quality standards," said Margaret E. O'Kane, President of NCQA.
