 Special Needs Plans Structure & Process Measures
Since January of 2007, the Geriatric Measurement Panel (GMAP) of the National
Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), funded by the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS), has been developing recommendations for evaluating
SNPs. In March of 2007, NCQA proposed a potential list of evaluation measures
for SNPs which were approved by the GMAP in November 2007. These recommendations
included thirteen HEDIS measures, and a set of structure and process
measures.
Under a contract to CMS, NCQA has been tasked with evaluating the Medicare
Advantage Special Needs Plans. Work continues with respect to refining and
improving SNP evaluation, including the development of SNP-specific measures.
