Berlin – Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont reminds Vermonters of its high-ranking Medicare Part D prescription drug plan options.
BCBSVT, in a joint venture with three other New England Blue plans, contracts with the federal government to offer prescription drug coverage, called Blue MedicareRxSM. Earlier this fall, the company reported that Blue MedicareRx is the only individual prescription drug plan in Vermont, and greater New England, to achieve a five-star rating[i] for 2018 from the CMS. The five-star rating means the highest possible ranking for quality, access and member satisfaction.
BCBSVT is excited to share that its Blue MedicareRx Part D program received further recognition as one of the Best Medicare Plans for 2018 by U.S. News & World Report.
“We’re honored to have been named one of the best Medicare plans for 2018. In addition to our achievement of being the only five-star individual prescription drug plan in Vermont, we believe this acknowledgment from the U.S. News & World Report further highlights the excellent coverage, access and overall experience that our plans offer,” says Catherine Hamilton, BCBSVT’s vice president of consumer services and planning.
The U.S. News & World Report uses the government’s five-star plan ratings and applies a methodology averaging each company’s plans within a state and using a five-star rating system. Companies averaging 4.5 stars or higher are featured on their list. BCBSVT received a five-star ranking.
Medicare evaluates plans based on a 5-star rating system. Star Ratings are calculated each year and may change from one year to the next.
