On October 7, 2019 Centres for Medicare Services (CMS) have to release star ratings.

Explanation:

To support consumers, and their families and caretakers compare health homes easier and identify areas where you might like to ask any questions, CMS created a 5 Star rating system.

Medicare applicants have concerns with their health plan and health care systems using 5 star ratings.

The score for health plans is 1 to 5 stars and 5 stars would be the highest. The Star Rating Program is designed to:

  • Increase the quality of care for Healthcare recipients
  • Reinforce the protection of beneficiaries
  • Easy comparison of health plans by consumers
