Highmark Nationally Recognized for Member Satisfaction for Fourth Consecutive Year
PITTSBURGH (PRWEB) August 01, 2019 -- Ranked #2 in the Medicare Advantage Study with #1 Ranking in Choice of Providers by J.D. Power.
When choosing health insurance coverage, surveys have shown that consumers want a health plan that offers provider choice, is affordable and is from a company they can trust.
Surveys also consistently show that health insurance consumers value customer service and the peace of mind that the care they need will be covered and paid for.
J.D. Power – a global leader in consumer insights, advisory services and data and analytics – annually ranks Medicare Advantage plans to help consumers make more informed choices. The ratings are based on the opinions of a representative sample of consumers who have used or owned the product or service being rated.
The J.D. Power 2019 Medicare Advantage Study rankings were recently released, and Highmark has maintained its number two ranking in the nation for Medicare Advantage Overall Customer Satisfaction, while improving its overall score.
Additionally, Highmark received the highest score in the Provider Choice factor among health plans profiled in the study. This score is based on how Medicare Advantage plan members rate their selection of primary and specialty care doctors, hospitals, urgent care centers and retail clinics.
