Keystone Mercy Scores High in U.S.News & World Report/NCQA Rankings

U.S.News & World Report/NCQA America's Best Health Plans 2007 Rates Keystone Mercy Health Plan #31

October 30, 2007
Philadelphia, PA - Keystone Mercy Health Plan was recently ranked favorably among Medicaid health plans nationwide according to U.S.News & World Report/NCQA’s America’s Best Health Plans 2007. Keystone Mercy ranked #31 out of nearly 200 Medicaid plans in America.

"I am proud that Keystone Mercy has been recognized as being among the top Medicaid plans in the nation," said Anne Morrissey, President of Pennsylvania Managed Care, Keystone Mercy Health Plan. "It is a reflection of the high quality of care that we provide to our members on a daily basis."

Released in the November 5th edition of U.S.News & World Report, this collaborative study ranked the nation's commercial Medicare and Medicaid health plans based on access to care (member's ability to get needed care quickly, health plan customer service), overall member satisfaction, prevention services (health screenings, prenatal care, childhood and adolescent immunizations, avoiding antibiotic overuse and well-child visits), treatment (how well the plan takes care of on-going health problems), and overall quality score (a combination of the scores from the four main categories above, along with NCQA accreditation). "America’s Best Health Plans" is a trademark of U.S.News & World Report.
