URAC Announces Core v3.2 to Replace Rollout of Core v4.0
URAC Announces Core
v3.2 to Replace Rollout of Core v4.0
URAC has announced that the ongoing and planned rollout of
its Core v4.0 standards have been suspended.
Although organizations looking to be accredited under Case
Management v6.0 will be required to meet Core v4.0 standards, all other
organizations will instead be expected to meet Core v3.2 standards. These
updates to delegation standards will affect new accreditations and reaccreditations
as of August 1, 2018.
To facilitate this change, URAC’s
full-day onsite training workshop in Washington, D.C. addresses the basic
components of the standards, what organizations need to meet the intent,
documentation required for the Desktop Review, and more. Click
