2026 Medicare Star Ratings

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released its 2026 Medicare Star Ratings. These ratings measure our plan’s performance in areas such as quality of care provided to our members, clinical outcomes and preventive care, member satisfaction and operational performance. We are thrilled to announce that our HMO and PDP plans ranked above average for the 13th year in a row.

This year’s ratings include:

  • 4.5 out of 5 stars for our Medicare Part D prescription drug plan (PDP)
  • 4 out of 5 stars for our Medicare Advantage HMO plan
  • 3.5 out of 5 stars for our Medicare Advantage PPO plan

While performance improved across many quality measures, updates to CMS methodology—including higher thresholds for nearly 60% of metrics—presented new challenges in achieving top ratings.

We are right here for you and remain committed to advancing member health outcomes and delivering exceptional care. We’re excited to build on this momentum together.
