Webinar: Decoding the 2026 Star Ratings

The recently published 2026 Star Ratings results confirm that even for large national payers, achieving and maintaining a rating of four stars or higher is no simple feat as measure requirements and cut points evolve from year to year. As it becomes harder for Medicare Advantage plans to achieve a high Star Rating and earn quality bonus payments, plans must quickly evaluate their performance, identify gaps, and implement strategies to stay competitive and deliver quality care to members. Without a clear approach, opportunities for improvement can be missed—impacting both quality scores and patient outcomes.  

Join us Thursday, October 23 at 1 pm ET for the final entry of Cotiviti’s 2025 Quality Decoded webinar series. During this webinar, we will:

  • Review the 2026 Medicare Advantage and Part D Star Ratings and provide recommendations on how to reach a high Star Rating
  • Dive deep into key measures and the impact of cut points
  • Provide practical recommendations to help improve your performance and member outcomes

Learn how to identify performance gaps, optimize your data strategy, and implement improvements that make a difference. Whether you’re reflecting on past performance or planning for the year ahead, this webinar delivers practical insights and strategies designed to support your team’s success.

If you can’t attend the live webinar, be sure to register so we can send you the on-demand recording. We look forward to seeing you there.
