Martin’s Point Generations Advantage: Switch to 5-Star Medicare Quality TODAY!

COURTESY OF MARTIN’S POINT GENERATIONS ADVANTAGE

At Martin’s Point Generations Advantage, we have a message for our neighbors across Maine—RIGHT NOW is the time to switch your Medicare coverage for 5-Star, best-in-class quality and savings!

It’s Not Too Late to Switch to a 5-Star Plan

If you have original Medicare, a Medicare Supplement/Medigap, or a Medicare Advantage plan, you don’t have to wait until next fall’s Annual Enrollment Period to switch your plan. Medicare allows you to enroll in a 5-Star plan any time during the year.

What Are Medicare Star Ratings and Why Are They Important?

Each year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rates the performance of all Medicare Advantage plans using a 5-Star Rating System. They grade each plan on a scale of 0 to 5 Stars—assessing nearly 50 care and service quality measures—and publish these ratings each fall during their Annual Enrollment Period. Nationally, over 500 Medicare Advantage plans were rated by CMS for 2023 and only 57 earned the distinction of 5-out-of-5 Stars. For the fifth year in a row, Martin’s Point Generations Advantage plans have earned CMS’s highest quality rating and we’re proud to offer the only local plans in Maine and the only plans in New Hampshire to have earned this highest rating.

To improve access to the highest-quality plans, Medicare offers a “5-Star Special Enrollment Period,” allowing you to make a one-time switch to a 5-Star plan even after the Annual Enrollment Period has ended. The current 5-Star Special Enrollment Period lasts through November 30, 2023, so you can switch from your current plan to a 5-Star Martin’s Point Generations Advantage plan today!

Review Your Coverage

—Trust You’ve Made the Best Choice!

Each year it’s a good idea to review your Medicare coverage to make sure it continues to meet your needs. And, this year, you don’t have to wait until fall to make a switch. There are many helpful resources, including your local Area Agency on Aging, that can help you understand your options. Researching Medicare’s Star Ratings on their website at www.Medicare.gov can be a good place to start. The guides at Martin’s Point Generations Advantage are always available to help determine which 5-Star plan best fits your needs.
