Tucson’s CareMore Receives Four Star Rating From The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

Nov. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- TUCSON, AZ – The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced that CareMore Health Plan’s Medicare Advantage and Part D plans in Tucson earned a prestigious four-star ranking.
The four-star designation, which only a small percentage of Medicare Advantage plans receive, is reflective of the quality of care, compliance and service CareMore offers its beneficiaries.  
The CMS star-ratings program, which has been issuing rankings for four years, was created to help CMS monitor plan performance and help beneficiaries choose the best-rated Medicare Advantage and Part D plans. CareMore’s new four-star rating is posted among the industry’s elite providers on CMS's Medicare Plan Finder website: www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan
“This distinction is a boon to our collective, persistent efforts to provide the highest caliber of care for our members,” said Leeba Lessin, president of CareMore, based in Cerritos, CA. “We are proud to accept this rating and look forward to continuing to redefine and expand upon CareMore’s reputation of excellence in the Tucson area.”  
The CMS star-ratings system is based on more than 40 quality measures, including preventive screenings, managing chronic conditions, and customer service.
