An organization is eligible for the NCQA LTSS Distinction for a product/product line if:
- The product/product line has a current NCQA Accreditation status, or
- The product/product line is seeking NCQA Health Plan Accreditation.
Note: NCQA conducts LTSS Distinction Surveys at the legal-entity level. Organizations undergoing Interim Survey are not eligible for LTSS distinction.
Health plans that coordinate LTSS and do not provide medical or behavioral services are not eligible for this distinction but can earn Accreditation of Case Management for LTSS.
