Priority Health, once again, was rated as one of the nation's best health plans, moving up to 13th place from a ranking of 19th last year. This new ranking puts Priority Health in the top 5 percent of all health plans nationwide.
"We are thrilled with this recognition because it validates a shared vision and collaborative effort between employers, physicians, and Priority Health," said Kimberly K. Horn, president and CEO of Priority Health. "Our work together is improving the quality of health for thousands of lives throughout the communities we serve."

Priority Health scored 4 points or higher (out of a possible 5 points) in each category. To view Priority Health's scores, users can click on "Commercial Plans" under "Rankings".
