Sharecare first and only company to hold simultaneous three-year NCQA Accreditations for Health Outcomes, Wellness and Health Promotion, Population Health Program, and Case Management
ATLANTA – Sept. 29, 2026 – Sharecare, the digital health enablement company that helps to improve care quality, drive better outcomes, and lower costs across the healthcare ecosystem, today announced it has received a three-year Health Outcomes Accreditation by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).
Three-year accreditation is the highest Accreditation status awarded by NCQA. The Health Outcomes accreditation demonstrates Sharecare’s strong performance against NCQA’s rigorous standards for organizations that lead the market in providing accessible and culturally or linguistically appropriate care or services, understand their population’s unique health needs, and address differences in health outcomes, experience, or access.
“Being recognized by NCQA for our data-driven understanding of and ability to address populations’ unique health needs and experiences validates Sharecare’s mission since day one,” said Jeff Arnold, co-founder and executive chairman of Sharecare. “Our new health navigation platform, AskMD by Sharecare, carries that mission forward by meeting people where they are, in the moment a question comes up, and helps them understand what’s happening, what to do next, and where to go for care. As AskMD reaches more people, the same rigor NCQA recognized today guides how we make sure every population we serve has a clearer path to the right care tomorrow.”
Through standardized data collection, measurement, and continuous quality improvement processes, organizations that earn NCQA Health Outcomes Accreditation demonstrate:
- An understanding of their populations and their unique or specific needs, including the underserved – from rural residents and Medicaid members to Veterans, older adults, and people who are under or uninsured.
- The ability to identify differences in health outcomes, experience or access, and act to address barriers that drive them.
- A commitment to continuous monitoring of progress using measures tailored to their unique population or setting.
“Cultural competency is crucial to providing high-quality healthcare,” said Dr. Vivek Garg, president and CEO of NCQA. “Organizations achieving Health Outcomes Accreditation are leaders in closing gaps in access to, experience with, and quality of care. NCQA commends them for their dedication.”
Organizations that are accredited or certified by NCQA meet industry-leading standards for following best practices and providing high-quality care. Accreditation is also a signal that helps identify valuable contracting partners. Health plans that partner with an NCQA-Accredited delegate can create efficiencies within the delivery system and may reduce an organization’s oversight burden.
Notably, Sharecare now bears the distinction of being the first and only company to hold the following three-year NCQA Accreditations simultaneously:
- Health Outcomes for Sharecare’s use of standardized data collection and measurement to understand populations’ unique health needs and address disparities in health outcomes, experience, or access
- Wellness and Health Promotion for Sharecare’s lifestyle and disease management interventions, including its coaching programs and RealAge health risk assessment
- Population Health Program for Sharecare’s programs for asthma, chronic kidney disease (CKD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure (CHF), coronary artery disease (CAD), diabetes, and hypertension
- Case Management for Sharecare’s complex case management capabilities
