Philadelphia, PA
– Keystone Mercy Health Plan, the largest Medicaid managed care plan in southeastern Pennsylvania, was ranked among the top 35 Medicaid health plans in the nation according to the U.S.News & World Report/National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) listing of America?s Best Health Plans 2008-09.

"We are very pleased to have our commitment to the health of our members recognized," said Anne Morrissey, President of Pennsylvania Managed Care, Keystone Mercy Health Plan. "We have a wide range of programs including case management and disease management to ensure our members get the care they need. Plus we support a range of community wellness events aimed at helping our members stay healthy."

  • Access to care, including a member's ability to get needed care quickly and a health plan?s customer service,
  • Overall member satisfaction,
  • Preventive services, including health screenings, prenatal care, childhood and adolescent immunizations and well-child visits,
  • Treatment, how well the plan takes care of ongoing health problems,
  • Overall quality score, a combination of the scores from the four main categories above, along with NCQA accreditation.
