CMS Star Rating Improvement 1

UNDERSTANDING the system for CMS STAR RATINGS.

Five-Star Quality Rating

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) uses a five-star quality rating system to measure the experiences Medicare beneficiaries have with their health plan and health care system. Health plans are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with 5 being the highest. The system rewards plans that achieve certain benchmarks for multiple quality measures.

The overall plan rating provides a single summary result that makes it easy for participants and prospective members to compare plans based on quality and performance. Visit the Medicare Plan Finder Tool on www.medicare.gov to learn more about plans and see their ratings.
