Stars, Savings, and Satisfaction: Unlocking Specialty Care Strategies for Medicare Advantage Success

Stars, Savings, and Satisfaction: Unlocking Specialty Care Strategies for Medicare Advantage Success

Medicare Advantage plans are under increasing pressure to deliver on two fronts: improving Star Ratings while managing rising medical costs. Specialty care sits at the intersection of these priorities, offering a unique opportunity to achieve both. Physician-led models can reduce unnecessary utilization, close care gaps, and generate meaningful savings, all while improving the member experience.

In this webinar, leaders across health plans will share how they are driving the dual function of savings and Stars improvement through innovative specialty care strategies. We’ll highlight utilization management approaches that put dollars back into the plan, initiatives delivering measurable quality gains, and bright spots where member satisfaction is rising alongside outcomes.

Key topics include:

  • Savings + Stars: How utilization management initiatives translate into both cost reduction and quality gains.
  • Customer Success Stories:  Real-world outcomes in utilization management, care gap closure, and quality performance.
  • The Trifecta: Triangulating outcomes, member satisfaction, and savings as a unified success metric.
  • Gaps in Care: Where MSK programs can move the needle on Stars measures and what bright spots are emerging.
