HealthMetrix Research Selects 2012 Medicare Advantage Plans for Best Overall Benefit Value
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Medicare Advantage plans in 85 cities will be recognized for best overall value in the design of their 2012 medical and Part D prescription drug benefits for seniors. The 2012 Senior Choice Gold Award recipients were selected from over 200 Medicare managed care plans based on independent cost-sharing comparisons conducted annually by HealthMetrix Research Inc. and MedicareNewsWatch.com. According to HealthMetrix Research Inc. president Alan Mittermaier:
"These forward-looking independent comparisons provide Medicare beneficiaries with estimated annual out-of-pocket costs associated with joining a Medicare Advantage plan. Each award recipient has demonstrated a commitment to excellence in the design of their 2012 Medicare plan benefits, copayments, deductibles and premiums including the Part D prescription drug benefits. HealthMetrix Research applauds these organizations and we are confident that informed seniors can rely on the Senior Choice Gold Award recognition when selecting a Medicare Advantage plan during the 2012 enrollment season."
The award criteria were based on 2012 benefits and cost-sharing approved by Medicare for the selected plans. Estimated annual out-of-pocket costs consider beneficiaries' health status (healthy, episodic, chronic) and utilization of the most common health plan benefits (physician office visits, emergency care, hospital care, home health visits, prevention care, prescriptions). HealthMetrix Research cost-sharing comparisons for 2012 are available at www.MedicareNewsWatch.com. HealthMetrix Research neither recommends nor endorses specific Medicare plans.
