CHOICE Total Plan Ranks First Among All New York MLTC and MAP Products

CHOICE Total, VNSNY CHOICE’s Medicaid Advantage Plus (MAP) plan, has received the highest ranking of any MAP or Medicaid managed long-term care (MLTC) plan in New York State for 2018. The rankings are determined by the New York Department of Health (DOH) 2018 Quality Incentive Program, which compares the performance of every MLTC and MAP plan in the state. CHOICE Total achieved the program’s highest possible Tier 3 rating based on its combined point totals in four categories: Quality, Member Satisfaction, Compliance, and Efficiency.

In addition, CHOICE’s MLTC plan achieved a solid Tier 1 rating, showing significant improvement in its performance in the Quality category. Based on their rankings, CHOICE Total and CHOICE MLTC will both receive a financial incentive from the DOH quality pool later this year.

“Kudos go to Senior Vice President Lori Ferguson, project lead of CHOICE’s quality program, and the entire CHOICE team for their hard work on improving the quality of care we deliver to our members,” says Dr. Hany Abdelaal, President of VNSNY CHOICE. “Our goal now is to bring CHOICE MLTC’s ranking to the same level as our MAP plan. With the team we have in place, I have no doubt that MLTC can achieve the highest tier as well!”
