AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- FirstCare Health Plans announced today that it has earned a Commendable status for its Medicaid HMO line of business from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). As with our initial accreditation in 2015 and our accreditation renewal for all lines of business earlier in 2018, we received this notable accolade because of our dedication and commitment to the highest quality health care for our Medicaid members throughout the communities we serve in North, West and Central Texas. "This recognition of Commendable status confirms that FirstCare continues to go above-and-beyond our commitment to quality for our members," said FirstCare President and CEO Darnell Dent. "As a plan with well-established programs for service and clinical quality that meets rigorous requirements for consumer experience, clinical excellence and quality improvement, we are honored to be recognized for our hard work and dedication to working together to serve Texans and build healthier communities." "Our ratings for member satisfaction (CAHPS) and clinical quality measures (HEDIS®) were critical to earning this status, and they demonstrate our commitment to provide access to high-quality services and our providers' commitment to delivering those health care services," commented FirstCare Chief Medical Officer Dr. Adolfo Valadez. "It proves that FirstCare is bringing better health and increased value to Texas Medicaid members." NCQA accreditation provides consumers and businesses with an unbiased third-party review to verify, score and publicly report health plan performance across the nation in five categories including: Access and Service, Qualified Providers, Staying Healthy, Getting Better and Living with Illness.
