States with the fewest 5-star Medicare Advantage plans

CMS awarded fewer Medicare Advantage plans with five-star ratings for 2023 than in 2022. A total of 57 Medicare Advantage plans were granted top ratings this year, and some states have more options for top plans than others. 

Data is taken from CMS rankings and Oct. 2022 enrollment data. Some plans are listed as available in all 50 states —  Becker's included these plans only with states where there were plan enrollees as of Oct. 2022. 

UnitedHealthcare's Sierra Health and Life Insurance Company Medicare Advantage PPO plan has enrollees in every state. It is the largest five-star rated plan, with nearly 1.7 million enrollees, per CMS.
