Star Ratings

Each insurance company may offer one or more HMO or PPO plans. Each plan is also rated using a star rating system to help you easily compare plans based on quality and performance. The star ratings are based on factors that include: feedback from plan members, the number of members who left or stayed with the plan, the number of complaints Medicare got about the plan, and data from doctors and hospitals that work with the plan.

In Clark County we have:

• 2 plans from 1 insurance carrier with a 5-star rating
• 28 plans from 4 insurance carriers with a 4-star rating
• 26 plans from 7 insurance carriers with a 3-star rating
• 3 plans from 1 insurance carrier with low ratings

Year Round Enrollment Options

Select Health offers the only 5-star plan in Clark County, and as a result, Medicare benficiaries have open enrollment into this plan year round.

Some Medicare beneficiares may have more special enrollment periods available to them with some of the Medicare Advantage special needs plans. There are two types: dual special needs and chronic special needs. In Clark County, we offer both of these plan types.

Medicare beneficiaries who also qualify for Medicaid and/or a Medicare Savings Program (QMB) through the Nevada state welfare office, have the option to change into a dual special needs plan once during each quarter in the first 9 months of the year. 

Medicare benefciaries diagnosed with diabetes, a heart condition, or a lung condition, may also have a special enrollment period to change into a chronic special needs plan.

There may be other Special Enrollment Periods that would allow a beneficiary to change their current plan outside of the normal enrollment periods.

Anyone turning 65 will also have an initial 7-month initial enrollment period (3 months prior to your birthday, your birthday month, and 3 months after your birthday).
