What is another name commonly used for plan ratings information?

The term "Star ratings" is widely recognized in the context of health plan ratings, particularly in programs like Medicare. These ratings provide a way to evaluate the performance of health plans based on various quality metrics, including member satisfaction, health outcomes, and the accessibility of services. The Stars rating system was designed to help consumers understand the quality of different plans and to encourage health plans to improve their services.

While "quality ratings" might seem similar and does encompass various evaluations of health plans, it lacks the specific framework and marketing recognition of "Star ratings." Similarly, "benefit ratings" and "member satisfaction scores" focus on narrower aspects of a health plan's performance and do not provide the comprehensive overview that Star ratings do. Therefore, "Star ratings" conveys a specific, widely used evaluation system that is meaningful in guiding members towards choosing quality health plans.
