Medicare Advantage Star Ratings are becoming a litigation and revenue-stability flashpoint as Centene sues HHS and CMS over 2027 ratings methodology, arguing that rules tied to bonus payments could cost the company roughly $448 million even after a related court setback for CMS’ approach (Centene lawsuit). At the same time, UnitedHealthcare and Humana are pulling back MA offerings affecting about 1 million beneficiaries, signaling that tighter Stars economics, risk adjustment scrutiny, prior authorization changes, and margin pressure are reshaping plan participation and network strategy (MA cancellations). For VBC stakeholders, the pattern is clear: quality measurement, risk coding, and supplemental-benefit economics are converging into a 2027 planning risk that could disrupt attribution, care management investments, and payer-provider contracts in MA-heavy markets.
