WEBINAR ON DEMAND
Duration: 1 hour

Clinical outcomes and health equity will be emphasized heavily in the Medicare Star Ratings formula in 2026. Now weighted more than 30% heavier under the new guidelines, HEDIS scores are the largest single factor Medicare Advantage plans must consider.

Join our healthcare experts as they discuss how to take advantage of this change and boost HEDIS scores with techniques to close persistent gaps in care and improve member engagement. From social determinants to testing modalities, this webinar will teach you everything you need to know to ace your Medicare Star Rating test.

Key Webinar Takeaways:

• Explore the reasons for care gaps, like transportation, cultural barriers, and social determinants.
• Understand the financial impact of Star Ratings — one organization experienced a $12 million difference in revenue following a rating adjustment from 4 to 3.5 stars.
• Discover how Quest Diagnostics' program aids gap closure via in-home test kits, mobile phlebotomy, service center standing orders, and analytics for optimal testing.
