Higher Star Ratings can mean better benefits

Did you know CMS awards funding to health plans that achieve high quality Star Ratings? The health plans, in turn, can use the funding to continue improving on services and quality of care provided to members.

Help Aetna get higher Star Ratings by encouraging your clients to achieve their best health. Encourage them to:

Talk with their doctors about their physical and mental health
Get a flu shot and use their no-cost gym membership benefit
Stay current with preventative screenings, tests and treatment
Ask for help when they have questions about their benefits

Certification site will be temporarily unavailable July 7-10

Please note that our certification site will be unavailable from
July 7-10 while we make final updates to launch the 2018 certification process.
