Medallion buys Andros, an NCQA-certified CVO

Terms were not disclosed, and no migration timeline was published. Plans that delegate to Andros should confirm which legal entity will hold the NCQA certification, and for which verification elements.

Both tracks By Credentialing Scorecard editors · Published September 15, 2026 · Q3 2026 issue

What does Medallion buying Andros mean for plans that delegate to Andros?

Medallion announced on September 15, 2026 that it had acquired Andros, an NCQA-certified credentials verification organization that has worked with health plans, health systems, provider groups and telehealth companies since 2013. Terms were not disclosed. The announcement says Andros customers will gain access to Medallion’s features “over time” and gives no migration timeline.

What to do: NCQA delegation credit follows the certified legal entity and its certified elements, not the brand. If you delegate to Andros, confirm who will hold the certification after migration, check the current NCQA report card, and ask for the migration timeline and service-level continuity in writing.

How we list it: Andros stays in both tracks under its own name, labeled “Acquired by Medallion,” until its customers migrate. We will re-score it then.
