Costs shown are the in-network costs this plan filed with CMS for covered services. Premiums do not include the Part B premium, which most people pay separately, and do not reflect low-income subsidies. A service that is not listed here is either not covered by this plan or its cost could not be stated plainly from the plan’s filing; we can walk through the plan’s full cost details with you before you enroll.
Every year, Medicare rates Medicare Advantage and Part D plans on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, based on the quality of care and customer service a plan delivers. CMS publishes these ratings by contract, not by individual plan, so every plan under this contract (H5425) shares the ratings above.
