Improve Member Outcomes and Increase Your Bottom Line with Better CMS Ratings

Each year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes the Medicare Advantage and Part D Star Ratings, designed to help consumers compare and choose the right healthcare plan for their needs. The ratings not only highlight a program's quality, but high-scoring plans receive quality bonus payments and rebates from Medicare.

The 2024 ratings showed another year of sharp decline for many Medicare providers. According to the CMS, an estimated 42% of Medicare Advantage plans with prescription drug coverage received a rating of four or more stars for 2024, compared to 51% the previous plan year.
