For the 2021 plan year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rated us a 5-star health plan. An overall 5 out of 5-star rating is the highest possible overall rating based on plan quality and performance. We received a 5-star rating from Medicare in 2015, 2019, 2020, and 2021. Every year, Medicare evaluates plans based on a 5-star rating system. Our goal is to provide our members with the highest quality plan each and every year.
Medicare grants a Special Enrollment Period for plans that earn a 5-star rating. That means eligible Medicare beneficiaries can switch to or enroll in a 5-star Medicare plan at any time during the year. This includes Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans, or stand-alone prescription drug plans. Because CarePlus earned 5 stars, you may be able to enroll in a CarePlus plan today!
You can take advantage of this Special Enrollment Period once per year if you qualify. (You must be eligible for Medicare Part A, enrolled in Medicare Part B, and live within the service area.. If you use the 5-star Special Enrollment Period to enroll, the effective date of plan enrollment is the first of the month after CarePlus receives your enrollment request.
