Humana Announces Improved CMS Star Ratings with 95 Percent of Medicare Advantage Members in 4-Star or Above Plans for 2027
Humana announced improved CMS Star Ratings for 2027, with 95% of Medicare Advantage members enrolled in plans rated 4.0 stars or above and 42% in 4.5-star plans.
The company has six MA contracts rated 4.5 stars and 12 rated 4.0 stars, 11 more highly-rated contracts than the prior year; its PDP contract also earned 4.5 stars.
Quality gains were tied to member engagement: 663,000 more care opportunities met and 534,000 additional annual preventive visits, including screenings that detected hundreds of previously undiagnosed cancers and eye disease.
Higher star ratings support CMS quality bonus payments and stronger positioning heading into the Oct. 15-Dec. 7 annual election period.

New Humana research finds association between pharmacy care coordination services and improved health outcomes for cancer patients
Humana published peer-reviewed research finding that cancer patients among its Medicare Advantage Part D members who used CenterWell Specialty Pharmacy Oncology Center of Excellence care coordination had 11.7% fewer hospitalizations, 2.7% fewer emergency department visits, and 7.7% lower medical costs over one year versus those who opted out.
The retrospective study, conducted by Humana Pharmacy Analytics and Consulting and appearing in Expert Review of Pharmacoeconomics & Outcomes Research, is explicitly associational — the company notes it does not establish causation and may not generalize beyond the studied Medicare Part D population.
For Humana, the data is favorable publicity reinforcing the value of its integrated CenterWell pharmacy services, but the release contains no direct financial figures, revenue impact, or guidance implications.

New Study Links Integrated Specialty Pharmacy Care to Faster Access and Lower Costs
A peer-reviewed study from Humana Healthcare Research, published in Health Affairs Scholar, found that integrated specialty pharmacy care was associated with faster medication access and lower costs for Medicare Advantage beneficiaries.
The study analyzed data from more than 23,000 Humana Medicare Advantage beneficiaries using CenterWell Specialty Pharmacy and found nearly six days faster access to specialty medications and about $106 lower annual out-of-pocket pharmacy costs versus non-integrated pharmacies.
A fully integrated model that adds primary care on top of specialty pharmacy and the health plan was associated with roughly $165 in lower annual pharmacy costs — evidence that bolsters Humana's CenterWell integration strategy, though the findings carry no direct financial impact.
