What the star rating means. CMS rates every Medicare Advantage contract (the "H" number in the plan ID — all plans under it share the rating) on a 1-to-5 scale each October, from about 40 measures of care quality, member experience, complaints and appeals, customer service and, for plans with drug coverage, drug safety and pricing. The 2026 rating is largely based on performance measured in 2024.
5 Excellent4 Above average3 Average2 Below average1 Poor
Not rated means CMS published no overall rating — usually a contract too new to be measured or with too few members ("not enough data"); it is not a low score. A 5-star contract can be joined outside the normal enrollment windows (the 5-star Special Enrollment Period, Dec 8 – Nov 30). Medicare.gov flags contracts rated below 3 stars for three years running as low-performing. Stars describe the contract's past performance as CMS measured it; they are not a recommendation, and they do not tell you whether a plan's network, drugs or costs fit you.
How to read this table
Yes — the plan's approved bid reports the benefit. No — the bid reports it is not offered. — — CMS did not publish a value for this field; that is not the same as No. Reported under an allowance column means the benefit is offered but CMS published no dollar amount. Premium is the CMS consolidated monthly premium (Part C + Part D). MOOP is the in-network maximum out-of-pocket. Star rating is the contract's overall rating in the CMS file used for this build. SNP plans (D-SNP, C-SNP, I-SNP) are limited to people who meet the plan's eligibility rules. A plan's own Summary of Benefits and Evidence of Coverage govern the details.
