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 here to sign up for the training.
