Star Rating Complaints/1, 000 % Disenroll Annually % ½ % % ½ % % ½ % % Commercial and Medicaid always follow Medicare Sub-3-Star Plans on CMS hit list in Some text about the project, 2015 consectetur adipiscing elit. - Scarlet letter on Medicare.gov - Letters to members Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting..5 Star = ~ $15-50 PMPM High correlation between Stars, compliance, and member satisfaction and loyalty
