SCAN Health Plan and Alignment Healthcare both sued the CMS in D.C. district court last week, arguing regulators robbed them of higher star ratings in the privatized Medicare program.
The CMS reran MA star ratings for insurers in June after losing a lawsuit brought by Clover Health. Clover had argued that regulators improperly factored 20 measures into its star ratings calculation for 2026, and a judge agreed, ordering the CMS to recalculate Clover’s scores without them. ARTICLE
