Let Milliman help you master CMS Star Rating best practices.

Although Medicare Advantage (MA) bonuses and rebate levels tied to CMS star quality ratings will start in 2012, today's performance is already determining tomorrow's payment; many of the metrics used to calculate the 2012 overall star rating will be based on 2010 data. High star ratings will translate into additional revenue and an improved competitive position.

Milliman's team of experts offers Medicare Advantage Star (MAStar) best practices assessment and star improvement services. Using our hands-on clinical, operational, and compliance experience as well as direct observations of successful clients, we provide star rating education, gap assessment, and improvement action planning. Leveraging these services, Medicare Advantage organizations can implement the necessary changes with efficient and effective use of resources.

In addition to our star quality improvement services, Milliman offers a comprehensive set of Medicare Part C and D consulting services including data submission preparation, data validation, compliance and data validation mock audits and audit preparation, operational gap analyses, and improvement action planning.
