Why are Star Ratings so important?

The Star Ratings from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) help you make sense of the wide variety of Medicare plans offered across the country. CMS created the Star Ratings to measure the quality of each plan’s medical and prescription drug services. Key measures focus on how a plan helps you stay healthy, your interactions with customer service, how a plan helps you manage chronic conditions, and your satisfaction with the plan.

We’re proud that our plans shine under Medicare’s Star Ratings, and we’ll continue to provide our members with the best coverage, at  competitive prices, with support by caring and compassionate customer service.
