This is a tricky one, but I think Mireya nailed it. NCQA is all about accrediting healthcare providers, so the obvious choices are the vision and dental organizations, not the behavioral health one.

So, Baxter Managed Behavioral Healthcare Organization (MBHO) is not included in the accreditation program.

Haha, I almost went with D) Baxter only because 'Baxter' sounds like a medical company. But I'm glad I read the question more carefully. NCQA definitely has programs for vision and dental, not behavioral health.

I almost picked D) Baxter only too, but then I remembered NCQA covers vision and dental too.

I was leaning towards C) Baxter and Cheshire only, since NCQA seems to have a focus on healthcare organizations. But you're right, the question specifically mentions NCQA accreditation, and that aligns with B.

The correct answer is B) Apex and Cheshire only. NCQA has accreditation programs for managed vision care organizations and dental health maintenance organizations, but not for managed behavioral healthcare organizations.
