Capital Health Plan’s Medicare Advantage Plan is ranked number one in the nation according to “NCQA’s Health Insurance Plan Rankings 2010-2011 – Medicare” published by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). The Medicare Advantage Plan has ranked in the top tier in past years, but is now the first ever Florida health care plan to be ranked number one.
“We are honored to receive the number one ranking from NCQA. It is a reflection of the commitment of our local physicians and clinical staff to consistently deliver quality medical care,” said Dr. Nancy Van Vessem, Capital Health Plan chief medical officer. “Collaboration between Capital Health Plan, physicians and members has led to continued success measured by consistently excellent results on quality and member satisfaction scores.”
Capital Health Plan is your local health plan serving Leon and the surrounding counties, but the plan brings the entire state of Florida national attention with its achievements. “As the only health care plan in Florida to receive such a commendable rating, we are committed to being a leader and continually improving Medicare services and patient care,” said John Hogan, CEO of Capital Health Plan.
To calculate plan rankings, NCQA uses HEDIS®, CAHPS® and NCQA Accreditation standards scores. These scores reflect the results of consumer surveys and the plan’s success in prevention and treatment compared to other plans.
The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measures performance on important dimensions of care and service. Capital Health Plan received the following important 2010 HEDIS results:
- CHP scored the very highest in the nation for Colorectal cancer screenings.
- CHP scored the very highest in the nation for Overall Effectiveness of Care.
- CHP scored the very highest in the nation for Overall Preventive Screening Rate
