Alignment Health Plan Recognized as Best Insurance Company for Medicare Advantage in North Carolina by U.S. News & World Report
24 October 2022 - 11:00PM
Alignment Health Plan, an award-winning Medicare Advantage (MA)
insurance carrier from Alignment Health, has been named a 2023 Best
Insurance Company for Medicare Advantage plans by U.S. News &
World Report for its top-rated HMO in North Carolina. Alignment is
one of only four MA insurance companies in the state to earn the
U.S. News “Best” rankings badge.
Every year, U.S. News analyzes and identifies the
best MA offerings in each state based on data from the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare Compare tool. A
Best Insurance Company is defined by U.S. News & World Report
as a company whose plans were rated at least three out of five
stars by CMS and whose plans have an average rating of 4.5 or more
stars within the state.
Alignment’s North Carolina HMO plan earned a coveted 5-star
rating out of a possible 5 stars by CMS for 2023, its first year
eligible for rating. Every year, Medicare evaluates plans based on
a 5-star rating, which represents excellent performance.
“Alignment Health Plan is honored to be named a Best Insurance
Company for Medicare Advantage plans by U.S. News & World
Report,” said Dawn Maroney, CEO of Alignment Health Plan. “Our
members understand the value we bring in terms of personalized,
coordinated care and differentiated benefits. We know seniors have
a choice when it comes to their health care needs, and we
appreciate the opportunity to be their champions in their journey
to age well.”
Alignment Health has worked with various Medicare Advantage
carriers in North Carolina since 2014 and introduced its own
Alignment Health Plan coverage to the state in 2021, the year on
which the 2023 rating is based. Today, Alignment Health Plan is
available to more than 628,000 residents in 16 counties – Avery,
Buncombe, Chatham, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Henderson,
Johnston, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Orange, Transylvania, Wake
and Wilkes – or nearly 30% of the state’s Medicare-eligible
adults.1
“Being named a Best Medicare Advantage company in North
Carolina, along with achieving a 5-star rating, is a testament to
our team’s hands-on approach to caring for seniors in our
communities,” said Dr. Adam Wolk, regional chief medical officer at
Alignment Health. “We continue to work directly with our members
and patients to truly understand their care needs and provide the
health care experience and outcomes they deserve.”
North Carolinians can turn to Alignment for popular benefits to
meet their unique and evolving health care needs, such as
non-emergency transportation to medical appointments, monthly
grocery benefits and a new “Flex Allowance” benefit that enables
members to purchase additional items and services such as dentures,
veneers and contact lenses and chiropractic treatments. Alignment
members also have access to the company’s 24/7 ACCESS On-Demand
Concierge service at no additional cost. New supplemental benefits
also include a one-month supply of insulin for $35 or less,
discounted pet medication and, in select plans, annual
reimbursement for caregiving support.
In addition to North Carolina, Medicare-eligible adults in
select counties in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada and Texas
can select from Alignment’s diverse lineup of plans during the
annual enrollment period, which runs through Dec. 7, for plan
benefits starting Jan. 1, 2023. To learn more about Alignment’s
