True or False: NCQA requires license verification for all states that the provider has practiced in.

The correct understanding of the requirement from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is that they do not mandate that all states where a provider has practiced must have license verification conducted. NCQA establishes standards for healthcare quality and credentialing but emphasizes that the verification process focuses primarily on the states in which the provider is currently active or holds an active license.

This means that if a provider has worked in several states over their career but is only currently licensed in one or a few of those states, the NCQA's primary concern will be with the states where the provider holds an active license. While the verification process could involve checking previous states where the provider practiced, it is not a blanket requirement for verification in every state the provider has ever worked in, hence making the statement false.
