Care Worthy of Recognition
Our 2026 Medicare Advantage Plan Recognition
We’re proud to share our Medicare Advantage plans in Illinois and Missouri were named U.S. News & World Report Best Medicare Advantage Plans 2026.
While this recognition applies to specific plans in Illinois and Missouri, the same care model is used across all of our Medicare Advantage plans.
About CMS Star Ratings and Our Care Model
This recognition is grounded in CMS Star Ratings—Medicare’s annual system for measuring plan performance using federally defined quality and service standards that reflect real member experience, care delivery, and service quality.
These are the same areas prioritized in Provider Partners Health Plans’ care model across all of our Medicare Advantage plans.
Our care model is built to support…
Coordinated Care
Care teams work together across providers and settings to help ensure services are aligned, timely, and easier for members to navigate.
Access to Care
Members are supported in getting the care they need, when and where they need it, through strong provider networks and care coordination.
Member Experience
Ongoing support helps members understand their care, manage their health, and navigate their benefits over time.
Together, these priorities reflect how we deliver care consistently across our Medicare Advantage plans and how plan performance is evaluated over time.
