Certification supports Signify Health’s expanded in-home diagnostic and preventive screenings for at-risk health plan members

Signify Health (NYSE: SGFY), a leading healthcare platform that leverages advanced analytics, technology, and nationwide healthcare networks to create and power value-based payment programs, has again achieved the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) certification for the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS^®). This is the second year in which the Company has received this certification.

NCQA provides accreditations and certifications to evaluate a wide range of organizations across the healthcare system. More than 90 percent of health plans in the United States, covering 190 million people, rely on NCQA’s HEDIS measurement tool.

The methodology that Signify Health uses to identify Medicare members who have gaps in their care and would benefit from in-home diagnostic testing was evaluated and certified by NCQA. Receiving this certification allows Signify Health to provide services that align with the industry's most rigorous data assessment processes, resulting in more accurate and timely clinical services for eligible members.

“Through our comprehensive data set and analytics, Signify Health is able to effectively identify at-risk patients and connect them with the appropriate diagnostic and preventive services,” said Marc Rothman, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Signify Health. “We are proud to once again have achieved this NCQA certification, demonstrating our ability to effectively identify gaps in care and to support access to high-quality health services.”

NCQA HEDIS measures relate to many of the most significant chronic health conditions facing seniors in Medicare. In 2021, Signify Health announced the certifications for diabetes care, kidney health evaluation in patients with diabetes, colorectal cancer screening, and osteoporosis management in women.

In 2022, Signify Health was recertified for all of the measures from 2021 that are still recognized by NCQA and expanded its certification to include osteoporosis screening as a preventive measure for older women who have not had a fracture. Osteoporosis is a serious bone disease that impacts the quality of life, especially for women aged 67-85. With the appropriate screenings and interventions, the risk of future bone fractures related to osteoporosis can be reduced.
