LifeSynch Earns Full Accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance

LifeSynch, the wholly owned behavioral health and behavior change subsidiary of Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), announced today that it received Full Accreditation for both its Commercial and Medicare products from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). The NCQA accreditation is for three years, through January 2015.

NCQA reviews include rigorous on-site and off-site evaluations conducted by a team of physicians and managed care experts. A national oversight committee of physicians and behavioral health providers analyzes the team’s findings and assigns an accreditation level based on the Medical Behavioral Health Organization’s (MBHO) performance compared to NCQA standards.

"Earning Full Accreditation for both our Medicare and Commercial products is a testament to LifeSynch’s commitment to provide the highest quality of services for all of our members, health care providers and customers,” said Sean Slovenski, President of LifeSynch. "Because LifeSynch helps our members improve every aspect of their well-being – from achieving healthy lifestyle goals or improving productivity at work, to managing co-morbid conditions and lowering overall health care costs – it is important we hold ourselves to the highest standards, such as NCQA’s.”

NCQA MBHO Accreditation is a nationally recognized evaluation that purchasers, regulators, and consumers can use to assess MBHOs. It evaluates how well a health plan manages all parts of its delivery system – physicians, hospitals, other providers and administrative services – in order to continuously improve health care for its members.
