“Medicare beneficiaries and their caregivers face an overwhelming number of options when identifying the best coverage for them and their families whether they are researching, choosing for the first time, or switching plans,” said Ben Harder, Managing Editor and Chief of Health Analysis at US News. “It is our mission at US News to provide relevant and useful analyses to help consumers make an informed choice of Insurance that fits their specific needs.” The Centers for medicare & medicaid Services (CMS) rates individual plans on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. The US News methodology analyzes insurers in a given state with plans rated 3 stars or higher by the CMS. Consumers can then gage what plan works best for them. “U.S. New’s mission is to provide trusted information and rankings that help Americans navigate complex healthcare decisions, including their choices of insurance plans, doctors, hospitals; and nursing homes.” Harder said.
