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.
