The health maintenance organization of Florida Blue Medicare, the state’s Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare plan, has been named one of U.S. News and World Report’s best Medicare Advantage plans for 2022, based on the plan’s Star Ratings as awarded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Florida Blue Medicare earned 4.5 out of 5 stars for its Florida Blue HMO plans and 4 out of 5 stars for its Florida Blue preferred provider organization plans.

“Being named a Best Insurance Company for Medicare Advantage Plans, along with our star ratings, further demonstrate Florida Blue Medicare’s commitment to providing high-quality coverage to our members,” said Kathy Feeny, president of Florida Blue Medicare.
