Every October, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes the annual Star Ratings for Medicare Advantage (MA) plans, offering critical insight into the performance of health plans nationwide. This release is more than just a report card—it’s an opportunity for MA plans to assess their past year’s efforts, identify areas for improvement, and refine strategies to deliver higher-quality care to members. It’s a time for reflection, innovation, and recalibration.
The newest Star Ratings, set to be released later this week, are already having a dramatic impact on the industry as multiple major payers are reporting a significant decline—putting billions of dollars in quality bonus payments at stake.
I invite you to join me on Thursday, October 24 at 1 pm ET as we host a 30-minute webinar to break down the newly released 2025 Star Ratings. Whether you’re focused on sustaining your success or looking to make strategic adjustments, this session will provide you with strategies to optimize future performance and improve member outcomes.
Here’s a quick look at what we’ll cover during the webinar:
