Star Ratings Industry Report

 

Show Notes

In this bonus episode, we welcome Stars expert, Megan Piotrowski, for an in-depth review of the recent Star Ratings release. On October 13, 2023, the 2024 Medicare Advantage and Part D Star Ratings were published on Medicare Plan Finder, largely representing Measurement Year 2022 data submitted to CMS. 

We discuss the variables that influenced performance and why it's the second year in a row, the average Star Ratings have declined and some plans might be seeing less than ideal performance. More than a third of plans saw a Star Ratings decline this cycle. 

Tune in to learn about the changes that will impact 2024 performance including the Tukey Outlier Deletion Method, the transition of several HEDIS measures to Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS),  measure weight changes, and more.
