CareMore Receives Senior Choice Gold Award for Value of 2012 Medicare Plan Benefits in Phoenix

Nov. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- PHOENIX, AZ – One of the fastest-growing Medicare health plans in Arizona, CareMore, a Medicare Advantage Plan with Part D Prescription Drug benefits, has been recognized with the 2012 Senior Choice Gold Award based on the value of the Medicare benefits offered to beneficiaries.  This is the third year in a row that CareMore has received the award for best value in a Medicare health plan.
CareMore is one of only a handful of Medicare plans nationally to be recognized for cost-sharing effectiveness and value in the design of its 2012 medical and Part D prescription drug benefits for Medicare beneficiaries.  CareMore’s Value Plus plan is the only Medicare Advantage plan in Maricopa County to qualify for the 2012 Senior Choice Gold Award.
“As one of the fastest-growing Medicare health plans dedicated to serving seniors in the Maricopa area, our efforts remain strongly committed to providing the highest quality care while providing the highest value to our members,” said Leeba Lessin, president of CareMore, based in Cerritos, CA. “This recognition reflects the value of our health plan benefits as second to none for Medicare beneficiaries.”
The award recipients were selected from over 200 Medicare managed care plans based on cost-sharing comparisons conducted by HealthMetrix Research Inc., a national independent managed care research firm.
"This award responds to the concerns and uncertainties that beneficiaries have with the out-of-pocket costs incurred when they enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan,” says Alan Mittermaier, President of HealthMetrix Research and MedicareNewsWatch.com. “CareMore has demonstrated a commitment to delivering maximum value in the design of their plan benefits, co-payments, deductibles, and premiums.  We believe that informed beneficiaries can rely on this award as an indication of excellence just as they rely on other awards and consumer ratings that recognize excellence in quality of care, health outcomes and member satisfaction."
