Johns Hopkins Employer Health Programs (EHP) earned an overall quality performance rating of 4 out of 5 in the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) commercial Health Plan Ratings 2026. For the 2026 ratings, only about one-third of rated commercial health plans nationally earned a score of 4.0 or higher.
EHP is proud to have health plan accreditation from the NCQA. Each year, the NCQA evaluates health plans on the quality of care patients receive, how happy patients are with their care and health plans’ efforts to keep improving.
For the fourth straight year, EHP earned a 4-star rating, attesting to our continued commitment to provide our members with better health outcomes, a world-class provider network and a superior patient experience.
“Sustaining nationally strong quality performance for four consecutive years is a testament to the consistent dedication of our teams and provider partners,” said Marina Zeltser, M.D., M.B.A., Associate Chief Medical Officer at Johns Hopkins Health Plans. “EHP serves the employees and families who bring the Johns Hopkins mission to life every day through excellence in patient care, research, innovation and education, making this achievement especially meaningful.”
NCQA’s Health Plan Report Cards assess over 90% of the nation’s commercial, Medicare and Medicaid health plans with a focus in areas of patient experience, prevention, equity and treatment. The plan ratings use the combined quality measures from NCQA’s Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) Health Outcome Survey, Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) scores and NCQA Accreditation status.
The NCQA releases its annual ratings to provide consumers with reliable information with which to use in choosing a health plan.
