Staying ahead of the star rating curve: insights from HMA and Wakely’s Medicare Summit

This week, our In Focus section highlights a presentation from HMA and Wakely, an HMA company, titled “Staying Ahead of the Star Rating Curve – A Case Study,which was given at the 12th Medicare Stars, HEDIS, Quality Assurance, & Risk Adjustment Summit on June 15, 2022.

The presentation provided an overview of major changes in the Medicare stars program, which will result in both higher ratings and significantly higher revenues for many Medicare Advantage plans in 2023.  However, the presentation indicated the higher ratings reflect temporary changes and not necessarily improvements in quality, adding that Medicare Advantage plans should be cautious about enhancing future benefits based on additional 2023 revenues.
