C is the way to go. NCQA and URAC are the experts in this field. JCAHO is too broad for the specific needs of a behavioral healthcare program.

I think you're right. JCAHO focuses more on general healthcare accreditation, so it's not included in the options.

I agree with C. NCQA and URAC are the go-to accreditation bodies for behavioral healthcare programs. JCAHO is more for hospital-level accreditation.

The correct answer is C. Both NCQA and URAC offer accreditation specifically designed for behavioral healthcare programs. JCAHO is more focused on general healthcare accreditation.
