Plans help provide access to high-quality care for members across Maine
WOONSOCKET, R.I. — Aetna®, a CVS Health® company (NYSE: CVS), today announced that two of its 2022 Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) plans serving Maine, its HMO plan and its Dual Eligible Special Needs (D-SNP) plan, have been awarded 5 stars out of 5 by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Both the Aetna Medicare Value Plan HMO and the Aetna Medicare Assure Plan (HMO-PPO D-SNP) are offered statewide.
The CMS Medicare Star Ratings rank the performance and quality of Medicare Advantage and Medicare prescription drug plans to help beneficiaries and their families compare plans.
“Our strong Star Ratings demonstrate our commitment to providing quality care and value for Medicare beneficiaries across Maine. We’ve developed integrated and close relationships with providers and hospitals statewide,” said Dan Dyer, chief Medicare officer for the Aetna Maine market. “And our Maine members allowed our dedicated team and our providers to serve them in this challenging COVID-19 environment. We take seriously our responsibility to care for our fellow Maine citizens and members by taking the complexity out of health care. We also work closely with our providers, enhance care coordination and patient satisfaction, and create simple, easy-to-use products and benefits.”
