“Earning a star rating that places us among the highest-rated plans in Wisconsin is wonderful news. I want to congratulate everyone who has been involved in keeping our PDP operating at such a high standard of quality and compliance. I’m so proud of the work we do together.”
Bridgett Boucher, Vice President, WPS Medicare Market Solutions.

How CMS develops ratings
The ratings take into consideration such factors as:
Information for the ratings comes from customer surveys, reviews of billing, and other information that plans submit to Medicare, and from Medicare's regular monitoring activities. Part D plans help cover the cost of prescription medications for Medicare enrollees.
CMS rates health and drug plans annually to ensure they meet Medicare's quality standards and encourages Medicare beneficiaries to compare and choose plans based on these ratings.
AEP and other information
The Annual Enrollment Period for Medicare Part D runs from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. For more information on the Part D plan ratings, go to www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan.
