Advantage plans

Your articles are always informative
Todays article in the Tribune on Advantage plans. CMS doesn’t give any information on specific plans. How can I find the ratings on Blue Cross Blue shield of Illinois plan. Also any pros and cons from persons who have this advantage plan. THANK YOU!!!

Terry Says

At Medicare.gov you can get “star” ratings for Advantage Plans, and if you google “find star ratings for Advantage plans” you’ll get websites of insurance brokerage firms offering comparisons.
Generally speaking, you want to stick with 4 or 5-star rated plans. But things can change every year!
You might want to use this link to a recent NerdWallet article explaining star ratings and how to compare:
