Over the course of the last few months, CMS has outlined potential changes to MA Star Ratings. In this intermediate MA star ratings webinar, presentation and discussion will assume basic knowledge of the MA Star Rating System emerging from CMS. Instead of covering the nuts and bolt of the ratings system, these highly-focused 60 minutes, will focus on newly emerging issues related to the developing payment model. This webinar explores the issues within the CMS star ratings system for MA plans that are under current evolution and debate.

You will learn about the upcoming challenges and changes to your plan’s star future! Specifically this webinar will allow you to:

• Learn about the three-year approach for setting thresholds, what a singe national threshold would mean and the differences between national vs regional thresholds
• Gain insight into mega contracts vs individual, local ratings
• Understand how CMS might respond to issues of “gaming” and “data lag” within certain measures
• Discover how the lack of appeals process for appealing HEDIS and HOS scores may take a new twist
