HealthPartners plans again top-rated in Minnesota
National Committee for Quality Assurance recognizes
health plans for exceptional care and member satisfaction
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — HealthPartners is once again the top-rated private commercial health plan in Minnesota. It is also one of the highest-rated health plans in the nation, according to the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)*.
HealthPartners Freedom plan is the top-rated Medicare plan in the state. The Medicare plan received a rating of 5 out of 5 from NCQA**.
HealthPartners commercial plan was rated 4.5 out of 5 nationally for 2016-2017. NCQA has recognized HealthPartners as the highest quality private commercial plan in Minnesota for 12 straight years (2005-2016).
“This recognition is really important,” says Mary Brainerd, president and chief executive officer. “The results are a reflection of our health plan performance and our focus on member service, support, quality and health. The ratings also demonstrate the impact of our health plan and care delivery organization working together. Ultimately, being rated as a top plan means improved health and well-being for patients and members.”
Each year, NCQA analyzes health plans on care and service measures. Health prevention and treatment measures make up 70 percent of a plan’s total score. Consumer satisfaction is 20 percent. NCQA accreditation makes up the last 10 percent. Consumers can use this information to compare plans.
