DANVILLE, Pa. - U.S. News & World Report, a leading voice in healthcare rankings and consumer advice, has named Geisinger Health Plan a 2027 Best Overall Insurance Company for Medicare Advantage in Pennsylvania.
The ratings of the Best Insurance Companies for Medicare Advantage evaluate private insurance companies based on U.S. News' proprietary analysis of quality measures published by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Less than one-third of Medicare Advantage providers nationwide received the Best Insurance Companies for Medicare Advantage distinction.
"This recognition reflects Geisinger Health Plan's ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality coverage, exceptional service and value to our Medicare Advantage members across Pennsylvania," said Jeremy Gaskill, president of Geisinger Health Plan and executive vice president of insurance operations for Geisinger.
Geisinger Health Plan's 2027 recognition is grounded in an evaluation of CMS quality data. Along with being named a Best Overall Insurance Company for Medicare Advantage in Pennsylvania, the health plan received recognition for Care Continuity in Pennsylvania. The Best for Care Continuity rating is based on U.S. News' analysis of all Medicare Advantage insurance companies' plan CMS ratings pertaining to follow-up care after a visit to the emergency room and all-cause readmissions.
For the 2027 edition of Best Insurance Companies for Medicare Advantage, U.S. News considered CMS' data and quality measure results for every evaluated insurance company's Medicare Advantage health coverage plans for the 2027 calendar year. U.S. News, in consultation with industry experts, selected 31 CMS quality measures and assigned each measure a weight reflecting its relevance to consumers. The results for a provider's offerings were averaged together, with greater weight assigned to coverage options having the most seniors enrolled.
