Webinar: Decoding the 2025 Star Ratings

Webinar: Decoding the 2025 Star Ratings

Every October, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes the annual Star Ratings for Medicare Advantage (MA) plans, offering critical insight into the performance of health plans nationwide. This release is more than just a report card—it’s an opportunity for MA plans to assess their past year’s efforts, identify areas for improvement, and refine strategies to deliver higher-quality care to members. It’s a time for reflection, innovation, and recalibration.

The newest Star Ratings, set to be released very soon, are already having a dramatic impact on the industry as multiple major payers are reporting a significant decline—putting billions of dollars in quality bonus payments at stake.

I invite you to join me on Thursday, October 24 at 1 pm ET as we host a 30-minute webinar to break down the newly released 2025 Star Ratings. Whether you’re focused on sustaining your success or looking to make strategic adjustments, this session will provide you with strategies to optimize future performance and improve member outcomes.

Here’s a quick look at what we’ll cover during the webinar:

  • Key highlights from the 2025 Star Ratings: Understand the major takeaways from this year’s ratings and how they impact Medicare Advantage plans.
  • CMS measure updates: Stay informed with an overview of both planned and proposed CMS measure updates, helping you prepare for what’s ahead.
  • Strategies for improvement: Receive expert recommendations on improving Star Ratings and strengthening your performance, with a focus on quality measures and member satisfaction.
