Health Alliance Medical Plan submitted the most cost-effective bid for the State's Medicare Advantage program, with competing bids 24% to 120% higher.

Health Alliance Medical Plan is ranked as the top-rated Medicare Advantage HMO and Preferred Provider Organization in Illinois by Consumer Reports Magazine, with the Medicare HMO ranked #1 in Illinois for member satisfaction by the National Committee for Quality Assurance.

Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services assigned Health Alliance Medical Plan a 4.5 out of 5 stars rating for quality.

Taxpayers could have saved an estimated $60,000,000 to $280,000,000 over 10 years if Health Alliance Medical Plan had been awarded a contract under the new State Medicare Advantage Plan.

Senate urges the Governor to implement a regional HMO under the new Medicare Advantage Plan due to questionable bidding practices that resulted in less taxpayer savings.
