Cohere Health Earns NCQA Certification for Digital

BOSTON, June 30, 2021- Cohere Health, an emerging high growth digital health company, today announced it has earned Utilization Management Accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), validating that the company's digital prior authorization platform conforms to the industry's highest standards. It is the first such known digital prior authorization solution to receive NCQA accreditation. Health plans have traditionally used utilization management to ensure that patients are receiving proper care, reduce unnecessary overuse of resources, and minimize variation from evidence-based care. However, as health plans look to meet interoperability, analytics and timeliness requirements legislated at the state and federal levels, electronic prior authorization vendors have not kept up with quality standards. The most prominent health plans in the country are NCQA certified, and an NCQA Utilization Management Accreditation helps guarantee that organizations making these decisions are doing so based on objective, evidence-based best practices.
