The nonprofit National Committee for Quality Insurance ranked some of the best New Jersey health plans throughout the state based on the article by Warren Boroson on NewJerseyNewsRoom.com.  The rankings are published in Consumer Report next month and encompass 49 measures such as colon-cancer screening and mental health care.  This is extremely useful information for anyone in the market for New Jersey health insurance.

The highest ranking went to Aetna (New Jersey) – Southern New Jersey.  They received an above average ranking for consumer satisfaction and treatment and an average ranking for prevention.  Also ranking very well was Cigna HealthCare of New Jersey which ranked above average in consumer satisfaction and prevention.  The worst ranking went to AmeriHealth HMO (Pennsylvania) for New Jersey residents.

Other health plans ranked include Oxford Health Plan, Aetna Health (New Jersey) – Northern New Jersey, UnitedHealthcare of New Jersey, AmeriHealth HMO (New Jersey), and Health Net of New Jersey.  Not all HMO groups were evaluated because some of these HMOs do not submit data for comparison.
