COCONUT GROVE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HealthSun Health Plans (HealthSun) today announced that the Company’s 2019 Medicare Advantage plans are rated 5 Stars – the best rating – by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS’ Medicare Star Ratings gives health plans scores for the quality and performance of their services.

“These Star Ratings results recognize the innovative products and services consumers can expect from HealthSun’s Medicare Advantage health plans,” said Tomas Orozco, President of HealthSun. “We understand the dynamic needs of the Medicare-eligible population, and as such, the Company will continue to develop solutions that will make it simpler for consumers to improve their health and well-being. In addition, we are incredibly proud of our more than 1,000 associates and care provider partners who collaborate to provide the highest quality care and an enhanced healthcare experience to individuals enrolled in our health plans.”

The following Medicare Advantage plans are rated 5 Stars for 2019: MediMax (HMO), SunPlus Advantage (HMO), and HealthAdvantage (HMO).

The CMS’ Medicare Star Rating system rates the quality and performance of Medicare Advantage plans to help consumers and their families compare plans. Medicare Advantage plans are rated on their ability to:

• Help members stay healthy
• Assist members in managing chronic conditions
• Ensure positive member experiences with their health plan
• Achieve member satisfaction
• Provide effective customer service

Additionally, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans that provide drug services are rated on how well they provide prescription-related coverage along a number of factors: customer service, member complaints, member experience with drug plan, and drug safety.

Star Ratings are calculated each year using a scale of one to five stars, and may change from year to year. The annual Medicare Star Ratings are posted online at www.medicare.gov.

Consumers can enroll in HealthSun’s 2019 Medicare Advantage plans during Medicare’s Annual Election Period (AEP), which began October 15, 2018 and continues through December 7, 2018. Plans purchased during AEP are effective January 1, 2019. For details about HealthSun Medicare plans in your area, call (877) 336-2069 or visit HealthSun at https://www.healthsun.com/.
