TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alignment Health Plan, an award-winning Medicare Advantage plan from Alignment Health, has been named to U.S. News & World Report’s 2025 Best Insurance Companies for Medicare Advantage (MA) Honor Roll in Arizona. With 149 MA plans offered in Arizona, Alignment is one of only five insurers in the state to earn the “Best” ranking badge, which recognizes insurers with a U.S. News rating above 3.8 on a 5-point scale.1
To calculate its 2025 rankings, U.S. News & World Report consulted with Medicare experts to identify more than 30 quality measures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and assigned each measure a weight reflecting its relevance to consumers. The results for a provider’s plans were averaged together, with greater weight assigned to plans having the highest enrollments.
“It’s an honor to be named one of Arizona’s ‘Best’ Medicare Advantage insurers by U.S. News & World Report,” said Dawn Maroney, CEO of Alignment Health Plan and president, markets of Alignment Health. “Since we first began offering plans in the state, our mission has been to put seniors first by providing top-quality, personalized care. The recognition reinforces our dedication to that mission as we strive to deliver the highest level of care to our members.”
Alignment entered Arizona in 2022 and is now available to more than 1 million Medicare-eligible seniors in Maricopa, Pima and Santa Cruz counties.2 Seniors who enroll with Alignment during the annual enrollment period (Oct. 15-Dec. 7) will also have access to the company’s 24/7 ACCESS On-Demand Concierge for health-related questions, scheduling medical appointments and arranging transportation at no additional cost.
In Arizona, Alignment is offering five HMO and special needs plan options for 2025. Key highlights include:
- The ONE + Walgreens (HMO) plan offers $0 premiums and the ability to use a monthly over-the-counter (OTC) allowance at Walgreens or online through a mail-order provider.
- Chronic condition special needs plans (C-SNPs) for members with qualifying chronic heart conditions and diabetes, offering monthly allowances for groceries, utilities, and home safety and OTC items.
In addition to Arizona, Alignment offers a diverse range of 2025 product offerings, benefits and services in select counties in California, Nevada, North Carolina and Texas. To learn more, visit www.alignmenthealthplan.com.
