What does the HEDIS calendar look like?

A typical HEDIS calendar follows the timeline below:

  • January – May: Clinical Quality staff begins requesting medical records from the necessary providers
  • June: HEDIS results are reported to the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
  • July: The NCQA releases the commercial edition of the Quality Compass
  • August: Project health plan ratings are released
  • September – October: Quality Compass for Medicare and Medicaid are released and final health plan ratings are posted on the website
