MetroPlusHealth Continues 4-Star Medicare Ratings

NEW YORK, Oct. 14, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Consecutive 4-Star ratings from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reflect MetroPlusHealth's sustained commitment to high-quality care, member experience, and better health outcomes for New Yorkers. The health plan, which is operated by NYC Health + Hospitals, has earned these ratings for the second consecutive year, marking a significant achievement in the Medicare Advantage program.

The 4-Star rating applies to MetroPlusHealth's Medicare Advantage plans, including the MetroPlus Advantage Plan (HMO D-SNP), MetroPlus Platinum Plan (HMO), and MetroPlus UltraCare (HMO D-SNP). This rating is based on a 5-Star system, with MetroPlusHealth achieving 4 Stars for Part C and 4.5 Stars for Part D prescription drug coverage. These ratings follow a 4-Star Medicare Advantage rating for 2026.

The 2027 Medicare Star Ratings Program evaluates Medicare Advantage plans based on a broad range of quality and performance measures. For the 2027 ratings, MetroPlusHealth received strong ratings across measures of clinical care, medication management, and member experience. These ratings are based on data collected during the 2025-2026 period.

MetroPlusHealth's Medicare Advantage plans offer one of the most competitive benefit packages available, combining comprehensive medical and prescription drug coverage with supplemental benefits, personalized support, and care coordination designed to help members manage their health and get the most from their coverage.
