Medication Adherence: The “Hidden Multiplier” of Outcomes-Based Star Ratings
Recorded: February 11, 2026
CMS has been steadily shifting Star Ratings away from process-heavy measures toward outcomes-based measures that reflect real improvements in member health. Increasingly, plans are being evaluated not just on whether recommended actions occurred—but on whether members are actually healthier.
