Insights

CMS upgrades Clover’s star ratings to 4.5 Stars on key Medicare Advantage contracts, improving 2027 payment potential.

The filing explains that CMS recalculated Clover Health’s Medicare Advantage Star Ratings after a court judgment in Clover Insurance Co. v. HHS. The PPO contract H5141 was raised from 3.5 to 4.5 Stars for payment year 2027, and the HMO contract H8010 from 4.0 to 4.5 Stars.

Star Ratings help determine Quality Bonus Payments, so moving both contracts to 4.5 Stars can enhance reimbursement and marketing advantages relative to lower-rated plans. The guidance notes that updated 2027 Quality Bonus Payment ratings are available in the Health Plan Management System, giving operational clarity for Clover’s 2027 Medicare Advantage revenue framework.
