What a 5-Star Medicare Advantage Plan Means
Medicare rates MA plans on a 1–5 star scale annually based on customer satisfaction, chronic condition management, preventive care, and member experience. 5-star plans have a special enrollment privilege — you can switch into a 5-star plan any time during the year, not just during AEP.
