SAN ANTONIO, April 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Superior HealthPlan STAR+PLUS Medicare-Medicaid Plan (MMP) is one of only four plans across the country to earn a score of at least 90 out of 100 during an annual survey administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The survey measures consumer experience, including the accessibility to and quality of health-care services. This marks the third year the plan has ranked in the top 10 nationally.

"Providing quality healthcare to the more than 2 million members we serve remains our top priority," said Dr. David Harmon, Chief Medical Director at Superior HealthPlan. "This survey, which is based on feedback directly from our members, clearly shows that Superior is committed to providing quality and comprehensive healthcare to Texans."

CMS annually conducts a survey of MMP consumer feedback, which includes the Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey. In early 2022, surveys were sent to a sample of MMP enrollees who have at least six months of continuous enrollment, asking them to evaluate their health-care experience.

As part of the survey, respondents are asked to rate their health plan. Based on that feedback, Superior tied for the highest overall rating among health plans with a 90 out of 100 and was the only plan from Texas in the top 10.

Superior STAR+PLUS MMP is available to individuals in Bexar, Dallas, and Hidalgo Counties who are 21 or older, have both Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B, are eligible for Medicaid, and have a physical or mental health disability, or qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver services.
