IPRO Spins Off Managed Care Review Affiliate
10/06/08
IPRO, one of the nation's leading quality improvement and evaluation organizations, has created a Limited Liability Company (LLC) that will assume all of IPRO's compliance audit oversight and consulting contracts with managed care organizations (MCOs).
The new entity, Logiqual (www.logiqual.com), is now officially incorporated in New York State.
IPRO has functioned as a Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set (HEDIS)® compliance audit organization since 1997. HEDIS® audit organizations are licensed by the Washington DC-based National Committee for Quality Assurance. HEDIS® audits include validation of plans' performance measure calculations, medical record review processes, statistical computations and sampling methodologies. IPRO has conducted approximately 1,000 HEDIS® compliance audits in thirty states, using NCQA-certified auditor employees and subcontractors.
"With a team of experienced, certified auditors, we expect the change-over to be seamless to MCO customers," said Virginia Hill, R.N., M.P.A., IPRO's Vice President for Managed Care. She noted that the new entity's CEO, Anu Sajja, M.P.H., has a five-year history as an NCQA-certified HEDIS® Compliance Auditor and Senior Director in IPRO's Managed Care Department. Sajja has a Masters of Public Health degree with specialty areas of epidemiology and quantitative methods from the University of Medicine and Dentistry at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and a Bachelor of Science in Public Health Administration from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.
IPRO is a nationally-recognized, independent quality improvement and evaluation organization, holding major contracts with state and federal governments, as well as private-sector clients. A not-for-profit organization, IPRO has annual revenues of $50 million and 400 employees based primarily in Lake Success and Albany New York. IPRO holds ISO 9001:2000 Certification and is an Empire State Advantage Silver Award Winner.
