Abstract:
KEY FINDINGS: The five-star quality rating of Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plans had no direct impact on same-year enrollment. But after the introduction of a bonus payment for highly-rated plans, which had to be invested in additional benefits and /or reducing premiums, subsequent year enrollment in these plans increased.
