Each year, the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) releases proposed updates, additions, and retirements to HEDIS® measures for future reporting years. These updates play a central role in shaping quality strategy, impacting everything from clinical workflows and data capture to the way health plans report, improve, and communicate performance.
The Measurement Year (MY) 2027 public comment period provides health plans with the chance to evaluate the proposed changes, understand their implications, and offer direct feedback to NCQA. This is a critical moment to ensure planned updates are both meaningful and feasible, particularly amid the rapid transition to digital quality measurement.
To help you prepare, join us for the next session in our Quality Decoded webinar series on Thursday, March 5 at 1 pm ET. Our experts will break down what’s new, what’s changing, and what health plans should be thinking about before submitting comments.
We’ll dive into the latest proposed and finalized changes, including:
- Seven proposed new measures, including three person‑centered outcome measures for special needs plans (SNPs)
- Refinement of three existing measures to improve accuracy, reduce burden, and align with evolving clinical guidance
- Upcoming finalized changes, continuing movement toward digital-first measurement and standardization
As quality measurement grows more dynamic and interconnected, staying informed during the public comment period is essential. Don’t miss this opportunity to prepare for the years ahead.
If you can’t attend live, be sure to register and we’ll send the on‑demand recording as soon as it’s available.
