The Accreditation recognizes Lyra’s aptitude in the credentialing of its network of more than 12,000 providers and underscores Lyra’s long-standing commitment to providing access to high-quality mental health care.
NCQA is an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality. Companies seeking Credentialing Accreditation are evaluated on strict standards which closely examine a variety of activities including license and malpractice insurance verifications, ongoing sanction monitoring, application review and committee oversight by licensed clinicians as well as ongoing security measures to protect provider information.
