Star Ratings - English

Star Ratings - Spanish

Each year, Medicare rates health and prescription drug plans on a Five–Star Quality Rating System. The Star ratings measure Medicare Advantage plans against five individual performance measures:

Staying healthy

Managing chronic (long-term) conditions

Member experience with the health plan

Member complaints

Health plan customer service

Our Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) plans have received high ratings by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the annual Star Ratings, released on Oct. 12, 2016. For 2017, our MAPD plans earned an overall weighted average rating of 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. We are proud that 91 percent of our Medicare members are enrolled in plans rated 4.0 stars or higher — a 4 percent increase from last year.

Medicare evaluates plans based on a 5-Star Quality Rating System. Star Ratings are calculated each year and may change from one year to the next.

Changes to the drug list (formulary) (collapsed): We update our covered drug list monthly. We may make changes based on findings from:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Clinical standards of care

We don’t often discontinue or reduce drug coverage during the plan year. If we remove drugs from our list or add prior authorization, quantity limits or step therapy restrictions on a drug or move a drug to a higher cost-sharing tier, we must notify you. This must be at least 60 days before the change is effective. Or it may be when you request a refill of the drug. Then you’ll get a 60-day supply of the drug.

If the FDA views a drug on our formulary as unsafe or the drug maker removes the drug from the market, we’ll remove the drug from our formulary. We’ll send you a notice if you’re taking the drug.
Prior authorization, quantity limits & step therapy (collapsed): Some covered drugs may have additional requirements or limits. These include:

Prior authorization
You or your doctor may need approval for certain drugs before you fill your prescriptions. If you don’t get approval, we may not cover the drug.

Quantity limits
For certain drugs, we limit the amount of the drug. We may limit coverage to 30 tablets for a 30-day supply. We may also limit fills to a one-month or three-month supply.

Step therapy
In some cases, we require you to first try certain drugs to treat your condition before we cover another drug for that condition. For example, if drug A and drug B both treat your condition, we may not cover drug B unless you try drug A first. If drug A doesn't work for you, we'll then cover drug B.

Look in the formulary for more requirements or limits.

If you’re a member, you can request an exception if your drug has a prior authorization, quantity limit, or step therapy requirement, or if the drug isn't covered on our formulary.

Transition rules (collapsed): You may be on drugs that aren't on our list. They may have added requirements or limits.

Talk with your doctor

Your doctor can help you decide if you should switch to a covered drug or request a drug exception. It may help to share your formulary with your doctor. In the meantime, we may cover your drug in certain cases during your first 90 days.

Request a transition supply

For any of your drugs not on our list or covered with additional requirements or limits, we'll cover up to a 30-day supply. This should allow you to work with your doctor to either transition to a new drug or request an exception to continue your current drug.

You must fill your prescription at a plan network pharmacy.

After your 30-day transition supply, we won't pay for these drugs unless you get approval for a drug exception. That is even if you're a plan member less than 90 days.

You can refill your prescription until we've given you a transition supply (91-98-day supply). This may depend on drug maker packaging or if you have a prescription written for fewer days.

We’ll cover more than one refill of these drugs for the first 90 days you’re a plan member.

If you need a drug that’s not on our list or if your ability to get your medicine is limited, but you’re past the first 90 days of membership, we’ll cover up to a 31-day emergency supply of that drug.

If you’re discharged or move to a new long-term care facility, your doctor or pharmacy can request a one-time prescription override. This will give you up to a 30-day supply for that drug.

Participating doctors, hospitals and other health care providers are independent contractors. They're neither agents nor employees of Coventry. The availability of any particular provider can't be guaranteed. Provider network make-up is subject to change.
