Frequently Asked Questions about Medicare plans and 5-Star Ratings
What is a 5-Star health care plan?
Each year, Medicare evaluates all Medicare health and prescription drug plans on how well they provide quality health care for their members, rating them on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. A 5-star health care plan is a plan that was awarded a rating of ‘Excellent’ for all combined categories.
How does a plan earn a 5-Star Rating?
Every year, Medicare rates plans on their performance across a variety of categories. These categories are made up of measures that Medicare feels are most important to Medicare beneficiaries. The following categories are included in the overall Star rating:
– How many of the health plan’s members engaged and participated in preventative care to stay healthy.
– The plan’s overall health care experience (including customer service, benefits and physician network) met with the members’ satisfaction.
– Customer service representatives were easily accessible and able to answer members’ questions.
– How often members with certain conditions received regular check-ups, exams and treatment for their condition.
– How often members had problems with the plan and how much the plan’s performance improved over time.
As a Medicare Advantage plan, CarePlus provides prescription drug coverage - known as Medicare Part D coverage. Medicare also rates us on categories for prescription drug coverage and the results are also included in our overall Star Rating. Some of the Part D categories are the following:
– How well the plan handles member calls and questions.
– How often members had problems with the plan. Includes how much the plan’s performance improved (if at all) over time.
– Member ratings of the plan.
– How accurate the plan’s pricing information is and how often members with certain medical conditions are prescribed drugs in a way that is safer and clinically recommended for their condition
When CarePlus’ performance of all measures in the above categories is combined, our 5-Star Rating is the result. We are proud to have achieved a 5-Star rating!
