New York DATE – U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in health care rankings and consumer advice, has named VNS Health Medicare a 2027 Best Insurance Company for Medicare Advantage in New York. VNS Health Medicare was also recognized for high performance in Screening & Prevention and Care Continuity.
U.S. News’ ratings of the Best Insurance Companies for Medicare Advantage evaluate private insurance companies on the basis of U.S. News’ proprietary analysis of 31 quality measures published by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
“We are honored to receive this recognition as it reflects what matters most to us which is that our health plan is always member-centered while also being provider-aligned. This means keeping our members at the center of everything we do, supporting their goals to live healthy, independent lives at home,” said Angela Perri, Executive Vice President and Chief of Health Plans at VNS Health. “We also recognize we serve our provider community, working always to simplify for them as they care for our members. This means we are doing our part to ensure members’ care is connected and that we are there when their needs change. That’s the kind of health plan our members deserve.”
“With health insurance companies adjusting their coverage areas in 2027 amid an increasingly dynamic health care market, consumers need clear and trustworthy information about the companies providing their health insurance,” said Sumita Singh, executive vice president and general manager of Health at U.S. News. “U.S. News’ 2027 ratings provide a comprehensive, data-driven overview of the top insurance companies, giving Medicare beneficiaries the clarity they need to evaluate quality and research their options during the enrollment window.”
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 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.
