8.15.2023 Lack of present illegal drug use Does NCQA require practitioners to attest to their lack of present and past illegal drug use?

NCQA requires practitioners to attest to their lack of present illegal drug use, but not to past drug use or history of drug use.

Organizations are not required to refer exclusively to the present; therefore, an organization may choose to ask about both present and past drug use.
