As a health plan administrator, I can tell you that accreditation is a big deal. It shows we're committed to quality and our members can trust us. Option D is the winner here.

Ah, the old 'all accrediting bodies use the same standards' trick. Of course that's not true, each organization has its own criteria. Option B is definitely wrong.

Haha, yeah good one! Accreditation results are definitely made public so consumers can compare plans. Option C is clearly a trick answer.

I'm not sure about that. Isn't accreditation usually done by independent organizations, not the health plan itself? Option A doesn't sound right to me.

Option D seems the most accurate to me. Accreditation is a way for health plans to show they meet quality standards, which is important for their external customers like employers and members.
