Exceptional service results in highest-ever Aetna member experience score

WOONSOCKET, R.I., Oct. 10, 2024 — Aetna®, a CVS Health^® company (NYSE: CVS), announced today that 88 percent of its Medicare Advantage (MA) members are in 2025 Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) plans that are rated 4 stars or higher (out of 5 stars) by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Additionally, more than two out of three (68 percent) Aetna Medicare Advantage members are in a 4.5-star plan for 2025.

“Our excellence in 2025 Star Ratings reflects our efforts to continuously improve how we serve our Medicare Advantage members and help keep them healthy,” said CVS Health President and CEO Karen S. Lynch. “Our commitment to outstanding service resulted in our highest-ever member experience score since CMS launched the Quality Bonus Stars Program in 2012. These results are a testament to the dedication of our team across CVS Health and focus on what matters most to the health and experience of our members.”

Our Star Ratings success includes high-quality performance of our largest MA contracts, covering approximately 2.9 million members:

• Our Aetna National Group PPO (H5522) with 1.4 million members again achieved 4.5 stars, extending its streak to 13 years with 4+ star performance
• Our Aetna National Individual PPO (H5521) with 1.1 million members achieved 4.5 stars, improving half a star, driven by strong performance across all domains.
