Now, NCQA is introducing a new resource that can help individual consumers make informed health plan decisions. NCQA's Health Plan Report Card is an interactive tool available through the association's Web site . NCQA awards points based on how well a health plan performs against NCQA standards. They use these points to determine star ratings, which are used in the plan's report card.
Plans can receive up to four stars for each category.
Health Plan Hawaii received four stars for the Qualified Providers and Staying Healthy categories, and three stars for Access and Service, Getting Better, and Living with Illness. NCQA's Health Plan Report Card is a valuable tool for evaluating and comparing health plans. I hope you'll take a few minutes to log on and see for yourself just how committed Health Plan Hawaii is to your health and well-being. The first step to fitness is choosing a good walking shoe.
