Three companies secured the “best overall” title in the U.S. News & World Report 2026 ratings for Medicare Advantage plans. Two made the cut last year, as well.
This year’s scores rely on CMS star ratings, as well as 37 CMS quality measures chosen by two research experts and the publication’s news team. U.S. News outlined its full methodology here.
Along with the overall top carriers, U.S. News determined the best companies for satisfaction, screening and prevention, and care continuity.
Here are the best carriers overall and how they scored on U.S. News’ five-star rating system:
- Devoted Health — 4
- Aetna — 3.9
- UnitedHealthcare — 3.9
