What is the typical duration of URAC accreditation?

URAC accreditation typically lasts for three years. This duration aligns with the organization's goal to ensure that accredited entities maintain high standards over a reasonable period while allowing them the opportunity to adapt and improve their practices. After this three-year period, organizations are required to undergo a re-evaluation process to ensure continued compliance with URAC standards. This cyclical approach encourages ongoing excellence and adherence to quality and patient safety principles, which are central to URAC's mission of promoting healthcare quality. The three-year cycle is designed to balance the need for evaluation with the operational realities that organizations face, ensuring that they have adequate time to address any deficiencies or enhance their services.
