Weekly Health Tips

We all love the holiday season, but wonder how can we increase the joy and decrease the stress that comes hand in hand with it? Each year, we hope to pull off the perfect holiday with less spending, less craziness, less running around, and less pressure.  The main question is how do you enjoy more of the holiday while doing less?  How do you keep the holidays happy even if you have to spend it away from some of your loved ones?

As we move into full swing for this holiday season, I want to extend wishes of peace, joy, and above all, good health, on behalf of US Family Health Plan.

Each year, the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Provider Systems (CAHPS) rates aggregate member satisfaction for all health plans in the country.  This year’s report showed that US Family Health Plan’s satisfaction rating for 2014 was 91.5%, making our members among the most satisfied in the country.  In fact, this rating is more than 25% higher than the national average for commercial health plans.  It’s a rating that we are very proud of.

 In November 2015, the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Survey reported a 91.5% overall satisfaction rating among US Family Health Plan members. This score is 33% higher than the national average of 68.5%.  US Family Health Plan has been providing quality healthcare to the military community – retirees and their families as well as active duty family members -- for over 30 years, as part of the TRICARE Prime Health Program. 

Thanksgiving holiday falls in November and marks a time of the year when families and loved ones come together to express gratitude for their shared blessings.  Some of the greatest blessings are the presence of family and loved ones, as well as our safety and well-being.  It is the official start of the holiday season -- a season that offers the opportunity for families to spend more time with each other.
