Yes. To make the enrollment decision simpler, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) stress that Medicare beneficiaries should focus on a few important aspects when selecting a new Part D prescription drug plan: Cost, Coverage, and Convenience.
To these three key factors, we also add "Company" — meaning, some people decide on a Part D plan based on the company offering the Part D plan.
If you are not familiar with the reputations of all the insurance companies or plan providers now offering Medicare Part D plans (or Medicare Advantage plans) — no problem - CMS has implemented a Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plan star rating system that can give you some insight into other people’s experiences with Medicare plans.
CMS uses information from member satisfaction surveys, plans, and health care providers to generate the "Star Ratings". A Medicare plan can receive a rating from one to five stars. A 5-star rating is considered excellent. The overall plan's Star Rating gives you a single summary score that makes it easier to compare plans based on quality and performance.
In short, Star Ratings help Medicare beneficiaries like you compare different Medicare plans based on plan quality and performance.
