Answer:

The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set or HEDIS Compliance Audit Certification is a certification that you can apply for. In order to apply for this certification, you need to get in touch with the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). They will then send you an application and a handbook to study. You will then submit your application along with an application fee. You need to have a sponsor in order to apply for the HEDIS Compliance Audit Certification. This is because you cannot conduct audits unless you are employed or contracted by a licensed HEDIS Compliance Audit organization. The NCQA usually takes a week to review the application. If your application is approved you will need to sit for an exam and pay for the examination fee. The NCQA typically offers this exam twice a year. The exam is two days long. The first day is an overview of the handbook and the second day is the actual exam. After you receive certification, you must maintain your certification by conduction two audits per year, obtaining six hours of continuing education per year, attending the yearly auditor conference, and adhering to the Code of Professional Conduct.
