The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on January 24, 2025, that it would not appeal a court order to recalculate the public star ratings for UnitedHealth's privately administered Medicare health insurance plans.
UnitedHealth had previously argued that the original star ratings would result in millions of dollars from lost customers. The court's decision and CMS's subsequent non-appeal are expected to be financially beneficial for the insurer.
This outcome resolves a significant regulatory dispute in favor of UnitedHealth, potentially leading to improved quality scores and a more competitive position in the Medicare Advantage market for the upcoming year.
