The CMS publishes Star Ratings* each year to measure the quality of health and pharmacy services for Medicare enrollees and rate plan performance between 1 and 5 stars. A 5-star rating is considered excellent. It scores a series of clinical and performance measures including quality of care, member experience, health plan administration and customer service. Medicare consumers can use Star Ratings when shopping for a plan during Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) (Oct. 15-Dec. 7) or when they become eligible for Medicare coverage.
This is the second year in a row that HealthPartners MSHO plan earned 5 stars. Last year, HealthPartners became the first and only MSHO plan in Minnesota to receive 5 stars.
HealthPartners is expanding its service area for Medicare Advantage to 48 new counties in 2022, including 44 new counties in Minnesota. With this expansion, the 5-star Medicare Advantage plans will be available in 121 counties throughout Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin.
