First U.S. News recognition for Arizona plan since entering the state in 2022, highlighting commitment to high-quality care for seniors
TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alignment Health Plan, an award-winning Medicare Advantage plan from Alignment Health, has been named to U.S. News & World Report’s2025 Best Insurance Companies for Medicare Advantage (MA) Honor Roll in Arizona. With 149 MA plans offered in Arizona, Alignment is one of only five insurers in the state to earn the “Best” ranking badge, which recognizes insurers with a U.S. News rating above 3.8 on a 5-point scale.1
To calculate its 2025 rankings, U.S. News & World Report consulted with Medicare experts to identify more than 30 quality measures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and assigned each measure a weight reflecting its relevance to consumers. The results for a provider's plans were averaged together, with greater weight assigned to plans having the highest enrollments.
“It’s an honor to be named one of Arizona’s ‘Best’ Medicare Advantage insurers by U.S. News & World Report,” said Dawn Maroney, CEO of Alignment Health Plan and president, markets of Alignment Health. “Since we first began offering plans in the state, our mission has been to put seniors first by providing top-quality, personalized care. The recognition reinforces our dedication to that mission as we strive to deliver the highest level of care to our members.”
