Questions and Appeals Period
Complete and accurate results are important for AMP Core. Despite a thorough validation and quality assurance process, it is possible for discrepancies to occur in the AMP Core preliminary results. A formal review process, the Questions and Appeals Period, allows participating provider organizations and health plans to request more information about their preliminary results and submit an appeal for corrections before results are finalized for incentives and public reporting.

NCQA vendor certification requirement
All health plans and provider organizations must use an NCQA-certified vendor to calculate their AMP Core measure results, or contract directly with NCQA for certification of their software via the automated source code review (ASCR) process.
HEDIS compliance auditors
If your health plan or provider organization reports quality results in AMP Commercial HMO, AMP Medicare Advantage, and/or AMP Medi-Cal Managed Care, you must contract with a HEDIS compliance auditor. The choice of Licensed Organization (LO) or audit firm is a matter of organizational preference. Any NCQA-licensed auditor or audit firm is sufficient for AMP Commercial HMO and AMP Medicare Advantage.
Audit review guidelines
IHA follows NCQA’s HEDIS Compliance Audit Standards. Certified HEDIS Compliance Auditors use these standards to assess a health plan’s ability to report HEDIS data accurately and reliably. The audit standards represent key processes in clinical data collection and reporting and include standards and assessments that apply to physician organizations that opt to self-report clinical data.
Value set directory
As a companion to the AMP Program Guide and Technical Specifications, the Value Set Directory (VSD) provides time-saving resources to participants. The directory is an Excel file that is sortable and provides an easy way to incorporate CPT, ICD-9, ICD-10, HCPCS, and other medical coding systems into your organization’s data collection program. The VSD saves programming hours, eliminates the manual search for codes, and reduces keying errors. The Value Set Directory is available for download free of charge.
