Empire BlueCross BlueShield HealthPlus’ Plan Receives Five-Star Ranking

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Empire
BlueCross BlueShield HealthPlus’
managed long-term care plan has
been ranked as a Five-Star plan by the New York State Department of
Health, which makes it one of only two plans in the New York City region
to earn the state’s highest rating.

The ratings are based on number of criteria, including preventive care,
quality of life, satisfaction with care and stability or improvement.

“This ranking is a testament to the passion and commitment our New York
team brings to providing best-in-class solutions to our members who
really depend upon us for access to quality care,” said Jack Stephenson,
president of Empire BlueCross BlueShield HealthPlus.

Managed long-term care helps people who are chronically ill or have
disabilities and who need to stay independently in their homes. Plan
members must meet certain age, health-status and living arrangement
requirements.

Empire BlueCross BlueShield HealthPlus’ managed long-term care plan
offers benefits such as podiatry, dentistry, vision and hearing
benefits, nursing care, a 24/7 NurseLine, care management, adult day
care, a personal emergency response system, nonemergency transportation
and meals and nutrition support.

“Our focus is on providing a very personalized care experience tailored
to each individual’s needs so every person can live independently in
their homes as long as possible and live their lives to the fullest,”
said Stephenson.

Ratings are based on a comparison
of plan rates to statewide averages. They include data assessments and
member satisfaction surveys.
