must pass the corresponding performance assessment program
administered by the National Committee for Quality Assurance
(NCQA).

for POL Rewards: pass NCQA's office practice
performance assessment program
NCQA's office practice performance assessment program
involves a set of standards associated with comprehensive
systems in three critical areas: clinical information
systems, patient education and support, and care management.
NCQA evaluates office practices to determine if they
meet the established performance standards in each of
these three systems areas.

NCQA's diabetes performance assessment program consists
of a set of standards associated with processes and

diabetes care standards for either 3-year recognition
