Date Posted: 11/06/2024
LONG BEACH, Calif.—Nov. 06, 2024—SCAN Health Plan, one of the nation’s largest not-for-profit Medicare Advantage plans, was named to U.S. News & World Report’s 2025 list of the Best Medicare Advantage Companies in California and Nevada.
This accolade underscores SCAN’s reputation and unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality care and benefits.
“We are honored to be recognized by U.S. News and World Report again as a top choice for older adults,” said Karen Schulte, president of Medicare for SCAN Health Plan. “In a time of significant changes in Medicare Advantage offerings, this recognition reaffirms that older adults can trust SCAN to consistently deliver high-quality care and comprehensive benefits.”
This recognition follows SCAN's recent achievement of a 4.5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in California. SCAN is one of the top-rated plans in California and is the only plan in the state to have received a 4.5-star rating for seven of the past eight years, as well as a 4-star or higher rating for twelve consecutive years.*
SCAN is also ranked second in California with a 90%-member satisfaction rating.**
SCAN has been offering plans in Clark and Nye Counties in Nevada since 2021. It is notable to state that as a new entrant into the market, this recognition indicates that SCAN provides valuable and impactful healthcare services to Nevadans.
Last year, SCAN led the industry in a successful challenge of its 2024 star ratings. As a result, 2024 star ratings for all Medicare Advantage health plans were recalculated, a move that brought an estimated $1 billion in additional payments to health plans covering nearly 3.5 million beneficiaries.
