Why CAHPS still swings Star Ratings at half its old weight

Why CAHPS still swings Star Ratings at half its old weight

mPulse’s Sam Oliver and Reva Sheehan said the CAHPS chapter moved with overall Medicare Advantage Star Ratings from 2026 to 2027 after CMS cut its weight from 4 to 2. With 11 administrative measures set to start leaving with the 2028 ratings and the equity reward cancelled, they outlined scenario planning around CAHPS, population mix and reweighting changes.

  • 01CMS cut CAHPS from a weight of 4 to 2 in the CY2025 final rule, effective with the 2026 Star Ratings, yet mPulse's chapter data shows CAHPS still moved in the same direction as overall stars for the 2027 cycle.
  • 02The April 2026 final rule removes 11 administrative measures, but none leave before the 2028 Star Ratings; the 2027 measure set is unchanged and the Health Equity Index reward is cancelled.
  • 03CAHPS stars are set by percentile cutoffs and reliability tests, and in the 2025 Star Ratings 13 percent of CAHPS results landed on a different star than the cutoff implied, 93 percent of them lower, according to RISE Health.
