What the CMS 5-Star Rating Means

Every year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) rates Medicare Part D plans on a 5-star scale, with 5 stars representing excellent quality and performance. These ratings consider factors like customer service, member experience, and the safety of prescription drugs. A higher rating reflects better overall quality, helping you choose the best plan for your needs. The table below shows the CMS rating for the SilverScript Choice plan.
