At the national level, Humana rose to the top in the following categories for its 2023 offerings and performance in the CMS Star ratings:

  • Best company for Medicare Advantage plan overall rating

“Throughout this year, we really focused on listening to our members and delivering the quality and value they want and need for positive health outcomes,” said George Renaudin, President, Medicare at Humana. “This recognition from U.S. News following the announcement of our strong Star ratings for 2023 shows us we are getting it right for our members.”
