“We take great pride in receiving such an exemplary rating and being among a relatively small number of high-performing plans across the country to do so. We’re able to score so highly because of our collaborative relationship with providers, who help ensure that our members are getting the right care, at the right time, and in the right place,” said Dr. Farah Shafi, Blue Cross chief medical officer. “We are committed to providing high-quality, affordable health care to our members and to passionately leading a state of health and well-being across Rhode Island, and this rating tells us we are delivering on that commitment.”

The committee evaluates health plans on the quality of care that patients receive, how happy they are and health plans’ efforts to continue improving.
