The Massachusetts Division of Insurance (DOI) has notified HNE that we have been accredited by the MA Bureau of Managed Care for the period of November 1, 2006 through October 31, 2008.    HNE's "Excellent" accreditation status with the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) also supported our MA accreditation. 

In 2000, MA managed care reform required MA health plans to obtain annual accreditation.  HNE has met this requirement consistently since that time.  Last year, the legislature changed the filing requirement to every other year.  Therefore, the next accreditation renewal will be due in 2008.  Meanwhile, the DOI will continue to monitor HNE, as it does all managed care organizations licensed in MA, during the accreditation period.
