The National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) requires that evidence of Board of Supervisors‘ approval must be contained within each Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) provider’s credentials file. Approval of this list of providers as recommended by the CCHP Medical Director will enable the CCHP to comply with this requirement.
