Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plan Once Again Rated Among Top Health Plans in Maine by NCQA

SOUTH PORTLAND, MAINE – Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Maine’s HMO/POS plan was once again rated 4.5 out of 5 in the National Committee for Quality Assurance’s (NCQA) commercial  Health Plan Ratings for 2022, tying for the top-rated health plan in the state. This rating recognizes Anthem as a leader and one of the highest-rated health plans in the nation in supporting its members with access to high-quality healthcare services.

 

“At Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, we aim to help our members live their healthiest lives possible, and that work centers around making healthcare more personal and more accessible,” said Denise McDonough, president of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Maine. “We’re honored to receive this recognition for our work to improve health outcomes and will continue to build upon our successes to innovate with Maine providers and ensure our members have access to high-quality, affordable healthcare in Maine.”

 

NCQA, a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving healthcare quality, publicly released its 2022 Health Plan Ratings earlier this month. The report rates more than 1,000 commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid health insurance plans on a 5-point scale for patient experience, prevention, and treatment. The insights gained from the NCQA ratings are vital in enhancing interventions, delivering impactful programs, and shaping future strategies, as well as helping consumers, employers, and others make more informed healthcare choices. A rating of four or higher on the NCQA rankings indicates that a health plan is among the top one-third in the U.S.
