I'm confused by all the star ratings for Medicare plans. Do they actually mean anything for the care I'll receive?
Answered by 1 licensed agent
Star ratings are based on items like customer service, paying claims on time and overall customer care. Star ratings range for 1 to 5 with 5 being the highest. The higher the rating, the greater the reimbursement from the government to fund the benefits offered to clients. Therefore, it behooves all Medicare Insurance companies to achieve a 5-star Medicare rating. One extra bonus with 5-star plans. If there is a 5-star plan within your area, an SEP or special election period exists where you can enroll into the plan throughout the year.
