Highest member-rated health plan… fifth year in a row!

We continuously strive to provide affordable, high-quality health insurance with extraordinary service.


December 2, 2019 — Sharp Health Plan is the highest member-rated health plan in California — for the fifth year in a row! Not only does Sharp Health Plan rank well in California, but nationally too. Sharp Health Plan is one of the nation’s highest-rated health plans with a rating of 4.5 out of 5 in the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Private Health Insurance Plan Ratings 2019-20. This rating places Sharp Health Plan in the top 5% of more than 1,000 health insurance plans nationwide based on clinical quality, member satisfaction and NCQA accreditation.

“We believe providing the best health insurance possible matters to our members,” says Melissa Hayden Cook, president and chief executive officer of Sharp Health Plan. “We constantly aim to exceed our members’ expectations. We’re deeply committed to providing The Sharp Experience from coverage to care — every touch, every time. Our promise: provide affordable, high-quality health insurance with extraordinary service.”

Sharp Health Plan’s high quality stems from focusing on population health management through their high level of integration with the Sharp HealthCare delivery system. Sharp Health Plan uniquely collaborates with Sharp-affiliated doctors, hospitals and other providers to help improve members’ quality of care and patient experience. This partnership helped Sharp Health Plan earn the highest member ratings for health care, personal doctor and specialist among reporting California health plans.

“As part of the Sharp HealthCare delivery system, we’re committed to providing high-quality care,” explains Cary B. Shames, DO, chief medical officer of Sharp Health Plan. “Our dedication to population health management is a key differentiator in our industry and continues to be a primary contributor to why we receive national and statewide recognition for our clinical quality and patient experience, year after year.”

In addition to achieving top-decile quality and service excellence, Sharp Health Plan is also proud to offer some of the most competitive rates in San Diego. With Sharp Health Plan, San Diegans can save up to 15.7% on select Covered California plans. Sharp Health Plan is dedicated to providing members with high-quality health insurance at affordable rates.

With a focus on quality, service and affordability, it’s no surprise Sharp Health Plan continues to outperform other health plans in San Diego. This open enrollment, remember, better health insurance matters!
