The Florida company is one of only five
Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans in the country to
receive PQA’s highest recognition
CarePlus Health Plans, Inc., Florida’s largest* 5 out of 5-star
Medicare Advantage plan, has been recognized by the Pharmacy
Quality Alliance (PQA) with its Excellence in Quality award for
exemplary management of medications for its members. CarePlus is a
subsidiary of Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM).
PQA provides two awards, an Excellence in Quality Award and a
Quality Improvement Award, which are based on published Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare Part D Star
Ratings. CarePlus is one of only five Medicare Advantage Drug Plans
(MAPDs) in the nation to receive the organization’s top recognition
in 2021.
“We are incredibly proud to once again be recognized by PQA with
this Excellence in Quality Award,” said CarePlus President Bruno
Piquin. “It not only speaks to the hard work and dedication that
our team puts into serving our 185,000 members in Florida, but it
also is due to the quality of health care that our value-based
physician partners provide to our members.”
The Excellence in Quality Award recognizes Medicare Advantage
Prescription Drug (MAPD) plans and Prescription Drug Plans (PDPs).
MAPDs are recognized for achieving at least a 4.5-star Part D
summary rating and a 5-star rating on all five PQA medication
measures used in the 2021 CMS Star Ratings program.
Five PQA-endorsed quality measures are used in the 2021 Medicare
Part D Star Ratings program, and several others are used as Display
measures. Details on these measures are available at
pqaalliance.org/medicare-part-d. CMS evaluates Medicare plans based
on a 5-star rating system. Star Ratings are calculated each year
and may change from one year to the next. More information about
Star Ratings can be found at Medicare.gov.
