What Are the Medicare Star Ratings?
The Medicare Star Ratings are administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and are updated each year. A five-star system is used to evaluate the performance of Medicare Advantage plans (also called Medicare Part C) and stand-alone Medicare Part D prescription drug plans.

Medicare Advantage plans are assessed based on a number of categories, which can include:
- Screenings, tests and vaccines received by plan members
- Management of chronic conditions
- Member experience with the plan
- Member complaints or problems receiving services
- Customer service
Medicare Part D plans are measured by a number of categories, which can include:
- The plan’s history of customer service
- Customer complaints or problems receiving services
- Member experience with the plan
- Drug pricing and patient safety
Information for the ratings comes from member surveys conducted by Medicare, results from Medicare’s regular monitoring activities, billing reviews and information submitted by clinicians and the plans themselves.
If a plan receives a rating of less than three stars for three consecutive years, it becomes flagged as a low-performing plan. If a plan continues to underperform, Medicare reserves the right to terminate the plan.
