How we determine your Star Rating

  1. First, we determine the percentage of your patients who meet the criteria across 11 program measures (see chart for details)
  2. Next, we determine which Star Rating the percentage corresponds to for each measure
  3. We look at the weight for each program measure, which reflects its relative importance
  4. Each measure is given a quality rating based on the measure’s weight and calculated Star Rating
  5. Your Average Star Rating is calculated by adding the weighted quality ratings and dividing the sum by the total number of weights. The total number of weights is 21 if all 11 measures are included.
