Healthcare quality strength Strong quality credentials including NCQA 5-Star rating for commercial plans and CMS 5-Star rating for Medicare HMO plans, plus a top-three Medicaid plan ranking, which can be leveraged to upsell premium services, care management programs, and value-based care partnerships with self-insured employers.
