MeridianRx Earns Highest URAC Accreditation Status
DETROIT, March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MeridianRx earned highest possible score of 100 percent and met all seven optional leading indicators during its recent URAC accreditation review for Pharmacy Benefit Management.
"We are very proud of earning this level of accreditation from URAC," said Rene Acker, Chief Operating Officer of MeridianRx. "It is a testament to our employees' dedication and commitment to transparency, flexibility and innovation."
URAC's leading indicators are non-weighted, optional elements highlighting effective practices not yet widely adopted in healthcare. These leading indicators provide a way for an organization to distinguish itself from other accredited companies.
"Meeting these seven indicators shows our innovation and how we differentiate ourselves from other pharmacy benefit management companies," Acker said. "We go above and beyond the standard in our field to ensure our members and clients receive the best care possible."
URAC standards are widely circulated for public comment and beta-tested before finalization and an accreditation program is implemented. This broad, inclusive process ensures that URAC's standards are balanced and address a diversity of needs and concerns.
"MeridianRx should be commended for meeting strict quality standards," said URAC President and CEO Kylanne Green. "It is critically important for healthcare organizations to make a commitment to quality and accountability. URAC accreditation is a demonstration of that commitment."
URAC is an independent, nonprofit healthcare accrediting organization dedicated to promoting healthcare quality through accreditation, education and measurement.
