For the third consecutive year, Select Health Medicare HMO plans have earned a 5 out of 5 overall Star Rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the HMO says.
The recognition "reflects the dedication of Select Health Medicare to provide access to high-quality healthcare coverage and exceptional services to its valued members, making it a trusted choice for Medicare beneficiaries," Select Health said in a news release.
The 5-star rating, the highest possible score, reflects Select Health Medicare's commitment to excellence in all aspects of healthcare delivery, the organization said.
CMS evaluates the quality and value of certified health plans through a comprehensive assessment that includes criteria such as clinical outcomes, preventive care, member experience and satisfaction, pharmacy services, wellness programs and plan responsiveness, to determine these ratings.
Along with evaluating a plan’s services and programs, CMS sends annual surveys to health plan members to gather feedback.
“Achieving a perfect 5-star rating from CMS for a third straight year is a testament to Select Health’s member-centered approach,” said Rob Hitchcock, Select Health president and CEO.
“These ratings provide valuable insights into the performance of Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans, helping beneficiaries make informed decisions about their healthcare coverage by identifying health plans who consistently deliver access to high-quality care and services.”
Select Health Medicare says it offers a range of comprehensive Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans designed to provide Medicare beneficiaries with access to high-quality healthcare providers, valuable benefits, and personalized service and support.
"With this 5-star rating, beneficiaries can have full confidence in the quality of care and service they receive when they choose Select Health Medicare for their healthcare coverage," the HMO said.
Medicare beneficiaries have an opportunity to evaluate health plan options each year during the Annual Enrollment Period from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7.
CMS Star Ratings "play a crucial role in helping Medicare beneficiaries to compare the quality and performance of different health plans", according to the release.
Plan performance and star ratings are assessed on an annual basis and may change from one year to the next.
