Introducing CareStars: Star Ratings insight, without the consulting bill

Every fall, Medicare Advantage plans ask the same three questions. Where did our rating land? Which measures are one step from the next star? Who is winning members in our counties?

Large plans often hire consulting firms to answer them, and that work is costly. Many small, mid-size and non-profit plans go without.

CareStars changes that. It is a free research tool from Carelytics. Pick any of the 687 Medicare Advantage contracts and see, in seconds:

  • The 2027 Star Rating, the change from 2026, and an estimate of the quality bonus at stake

  • The measures closest to the next star, against the 2027 cut points

  • Stars at risk, where a rating sits right on the line

  • Local rivals in any county, with their stars and market share

  • Why members leave, from CMS's latest survey
