The company’s Medicare Advantage
Prescription Drug Plan in Florida is among only 15 plans in the
country to receive PQA’s highest recognition
CarePlus Health Plans, Inc., Florida’s largest 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 15 Medicare Advantage Drug Plans
(MAPDs) in the nation to receive the organization’s top recognition
in 2020.
“We are so proud to receive this Excellence in Quality Award
from PQA in recognition of the hard work that goes into helping the
160,000 Medicare Advantage members we serve safely adhere to their
medications,” said CarePlus President Bruno Piquin. “We are also so
thankful for the ongoing collaboration with the physicians who
treat our members and partner with us to help our members achieve
optimal health.”
PQA’s Excellence in Quality Award recognizes MAPDs 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 2020 CMS Star Ratings
Program.
The Quality Improvement Award recognizes MAPDs and PDPs that
received a 5-star rating on the 2020 CMS Quality Improvement
measure and the greatest combined improvement in star ratings from
2019 to 2020 on the four PQA medication measures used in the CMS
Program during this period.
Five PQA-endorsed quality measures are used in the 2020 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.
