Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) December 02, 2016 -- Optima Health achieved Virginia’s highest score, a Global 4-Star quality rating, for its OptimaFit® Individual and Family health plans, by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 5-Star Quality Rating System.[1] This top Virginia rating was accomplished in the first year of a pilot program initiated by the CMS to present health insurance quality ratings for Individual and Family health plans, also known as Marketplace plans.

As we strive to improve the health of our members, it is especially pleasing to know our members appreciate our exemplary service.

CMS quality ratings provide information that can be helpful for anyone who is shopping for health insurance coverage during Open Enrollment.

In all three of the areas making up the overall 4-Star Rating, Member Experience, Medical Care and Health Plan Administration, Optima Health consistently achieved 4 Stars. Additionally, Optima Health achieved the highest rating in the state of Virginia - 4 Stars - for Member Experience.

“As we strive to improve the health of our members, it is especially pleasing to know our members appreciate our exemplary service,” said Optima Health Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, John DeGruttola. “Providing an excellent member experience is at the heart of what we do at Optima Health, and being number one in this area really fuels our efforts to continually exceed our members’ expectations.”

Optima Health also achieved the highest possible score - 5 Stars - in the areas of Doctors and Care, Enrollee Experience and Patient Safety. Covered in these respective areas are members’ experience with: medical services, including those provided by personal doctors and specialists; the service provided, including answering questions and providing necessary information, and; the care received and access to medications needed to manage conditions.

With Open Enrollment for Marketplace plans currently underway, CMS health plan quality ratings provide new information about the service and care obtainable from a health plan. Virginia Marketplace shoppers can utilize this resource by visiting a health plan’s website to view the summarized CMS quality results before buying.
