The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) today announced the inaugural Quality Compass® Exchange Data File, which provides insight into quality improvement and benchmarks through health plan performance data on Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) and Pharmacy Quality Alliance measures in the CMS Quality Rating System scoring program. 

The Quality Compass Exchange Data File includes valuable health plan performance data and benchmarks for 264 Exchange plans nationwide. Quality Compass 2022 Exchange includes Exchange/Marketplace data from measurement year 2021. 

"The point of Exchange plans is to make health insurance more accessible to consumers. This comprehensive data source brings insight into the quality and performance of Exchange health plans, so people know what they're getting and where to find good care," said NCQA Assistant Vice President, External Relations, Andy Reynolds. "NCQA exists to improve health care, and Quality Compass Exchange is a key tool to support that goal. This product can also help health plans, government agencies and health IT firms monitor performance and make smart business decisions." 

Quality Compass is an indispensable tool used for conducting competitor analysis, examining quality improvement and benchmarking plan performance.
