The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) places restrictions on when you can enroll in certain types of Medicare Advantage plans. Use this information to determine when to enroll in Medicare.
For the 2020 and 2021 plan years, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has 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.
At any time during the year, eligible beneficiaries can switch to or enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plan, or stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan if it has an overall 5-star rating for that plan year, regardless of Annual Enrollment Period timing. You may take advantage of this Special Enrollment Period once per year, provided you meet the plan’s enrollment requirements (e.g., eligible for Medicare Part A, enrolled in Medicare Part B, and living within the service area). The enrollment effective date in a 5-star CarePlus plan is the first of the month following the month in which CarePlus receives the enrollment request.
