STAR Ratings are Directly Related to the Percentage of HEDIS Measures Met

CMS Medicare and Medicaid STAR ratings directly affect the bottom line of a medical practice or medical organization. For health plans, HEDIS ratings can be very important. The scores on measures can help them understand the quality of care being delivered to their members in some of the most common chronic and acute illnesses. Higher scores can help compete more effectively in various markets. That also translates to losses or gains in revenue as STAR ratings are something the public is very aware of when shopping for a health plan.
