NCQA’s credentialing program page lists 2027 standards for surveys starting July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2028. The substantive changes are not public; the standards are sold by NCQA.

What to do: if you delegate credentialing, ask your CVO whether it has reviewed the 2027 standards and when its next survey falls.
