U.S. News & World Report recognized seven Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D companies for their high national performance among multiple consumer-value award categories in a Nov. 20 press release.
With many insurance companies modifying coverage, discontinuing or changing plans offered, or changing benefits and costs, approximately 1.5 million American seniors will lose their Medicare Advantage plans, and another 3.5 million will lose their Part D drug plans next year.
“With rapid, significant changes to Medicare Advantage and Part D plans this year, Americans can’t rely on simply rolling over their current coverage,” said Sumita Singh, senior vice president and general manager of Health at U.S. News. “U.S. News is committed to helping beneficiaries navigate this complex Medicare landscape and find the best plan for their individual health needs.”
The average Medicare beneficiary in 2024 has access to 43 Medicare Advantage plans, according to KFF. So, every year, U.S. News rates the Best Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D companies to help beneficiaries sort through what’s available and find the best health insurance fit for their needs.
For the 2025 national Medicare Advantage and Part D company winners, U.S. News calculated insurers’ ratings for three specific Medicare Advantage award categories: Screening & Prevention, Care Continuity and Highest Satisfaction, and one specific Medicare Part D award category: Highest Satisfaction.
The highest-rated Medicare Advantage companies received a U.S. News score of 3.8 or higher, and the top Medicare Part D companies scored 3.0 or higher. To be considered, these companies also had to have 1,000 enrollees or more in at least 10 states.
The following award-winning companies are listed in alphabetical order.
- Best for Screening & Prevention: Devoted Health, Inc.
- Best for Care Continuity: Devoted Health, Inc.
