Kaiser Georgia was recently awarded the title of ?Highest Member Satisfaction among Commercial Health Plans in the South Atlantic Region? by J.D. Power and Associates. The Kaiser Permanente medical organization is pleased to announce this honorable award for their Georgia region, which was published in the 2008 National Health Insurance Plan Study. Kaiser Insurance members in this region may already know that the organization offers a high level of member satisfaction, but now the general public and the southern medical community knows as well. This award given to Kaiser Georgia is the first that the organization has received from J.D. Power and Associates, which is a well known and respected consumer information group. The study evaluated Kaiser Georgia and six other plans in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The criteria included coverage and benefits; choice of doctors, hospitals and pharmacies; information and communication; approval process; claims processing; insurance statements; and customer service. Kaiser Insurance came out on top at the end of this southern regional study. This is just the latest recognition of how the Kaiser Insurance organization is working to satisfy their members and offer what they're looking for from their health plan. Kaiser Permanente medical members have assistance in managing their health plan and their health in the state of Georgia and every other region the organization serves. The Kaiser Permanente medical group has been shows to effectively communicate with their members about their benefits and provide a highly satisfying health care experience overall. Kaiser Insurance received high ranking scores among large commercial health plans in the south according to the study, which was based on 37,060 total member responses surveyed during November and December of 2007. These are the kind of results that they strive to achieve in every region, from Hawaii to California to the Pacific Northwest to Colorado and Ohio all the way to Georgia.
2006 seems to be a good year for the Toyota Motor Corporation. This company is the one responsible for the Toyota brand of vehicles as well as the Lexus brand. Now, it has most recently earned 11 segment awards that the J.D. Power and Associates give annually. These awards are all part of J.D. Power And Associates' Initial Quality Study.
This study actually measures out problems in 100 vehicles during the first 90 days of ownership. And during this period of study, the Toyota and Lexus brands received 11 segment awards which is a record in itself. This is primarily because no other corporation or brand has had received such a number of segment awards in just one study such as this one. In fact, Lexus has been continually the recipient of the most problem-free vehicle for nine years straight in a row.
Jim Lentz, the Toyota Division group's vice president and general manager, states, "It is a proud achievement for our vehicles to earn 11 awards overall in the 19 segments. Our product line has expanded significantly over the years, with a number of new models coming to market recently. With that, we've continued to place a great importance on the quality and dependability of the product."
In fact, the Lexus brand took home the awards where it had vehicle entrants. It was six segments in all. As per Toyota, it took home five segment awards. Of course, this was the best number of awards among those with non luxury nameplates attached to them. The Toyota Camry and the Toyota Corolla, which are Toyota's largest volume vehicles, took the top spot in each of their respective segments. The Camry was the number one midsize car. On the other hand, the Corolla took home the best in the Compact Car segment award.
