All of the above activities are deemed non-delegable by NCQA. Evaluation of new medical technologies requires expertise and knowledge specific to the health plan. Overseeing delegated medical records activities is crucial to ensure that the delegated entity is complying with all applicable laws and regulations. Developing written statements of members' rights and responsibilities requires a deep understanding of the health plan's policies and procedures. Therefore, these activities cannot be delegated to outside sources.
