Star Ratings & plan quality · published Mar 18, 2017

The charts below lists the Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans that have a 5-Star CMS quality rating for the plan year 2017.

You can click on the plan name to see plan details including service area, link to formulary (drug list) and enrollment options.

The plans below all qualify for the 2017 5-star Special Enrollment Period (SEP).
 Medicare beneficiaries currently enrolled any MA, MAPD, or PDP plan (including people already enrolled in another Medicare plan with 5-star rating) can take advantage of the 5-star Special Enrollment Period.

Remember:  If you are currently enrolled in a stand-alone Medicare Part D plan (PDP) and wish to join a 5-star Medicare Advantage plan (MAPD or SNP), you must also be enrolled in Original Medicare Part A and Part B - and meet the eligibility requirements for the Medicare Advantage plan.  Click here to read more about 5-star SEP cautions.
