Health Plans, a Cigna company, announced it has achieved Five out
of Five Stars for quality and performance from the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for 2021. This is the fourth
time the plan has been awarded this top status.
"We're incredibly proud to receive Medicare's highest Star
rating again," said Ryan Berger,

and caregivers compare Medicare plans. The Star ratings are posted
