HealthMetrix Research has selected Zing Health as one of 16 Medicare plans nationwide for cost-sharing insurance effectiveness. With a $0 premium and $0 annual deductible, Zing Health’s Signature Care HMO plan is the only Medicare Advantage plan in the Indianapolis area to get the certification Excellence in 2022 Medicare Advantage Benefits Value.
- Benefits: Zing Health was singled out for the design of its 2022 medical and Part D prescription drug benefits for Medicare beneficiaries. HealthMetrix Research found Zing Health members would incur low co-pays and deductibles regardless of their health status.
- Designed: “Our Medicare Advantage plans are designed so members can see the doctors they trust and get the benefits they need, without worrying about out-of-pocket costs,” said Dr. Eric E. Whitaker, Zing Health founder and CEO. “Zing Health plans reduce healthcare expenses and eliminate financial surprises.”
- Benefits: Zing Health’s plans offer extra benefits not found in traditional Medicare, including dental, vision, hearing care, telehealth doctor visits and a 24/7 nurse advice line. A community care team helps members manage chronic conditions. Plan benefits extend to fitness services and social supports that encourage members to maintain healthy lifestyles.
- Advantages: “Our members can take advantage of the numerous resources that we’ve identified within the community to help, either from our years of experience or from organizations we are partnering with,” Whitaker said. “Our goal is to provide members with the best options to improve their lives.”
- Commitments: “Zing Health has demonstrated a commitment to delivering maximum value in the design of their plan benefits, copayments, deductibles, and premiums regardless of health status,” said Alan Mittermaier, HealthMetrix Research president. “We believe that informed beneficiaries can rely on this recognition as an indication of excellence, just as they rely on other awards and consumer ratings that recognize excellence in quality of care, health outcomes, and member satisfaction.”
