CMS aims to share proposed methodology changes with the public next year and finalize them prior to its 2021 star ratings update.
Proposed changes will be largely based on public feedback. The agency posted a summary of more than 800 comments it received during a public comment period on the hospital star ratings that ended in March 2019.
CMS will still update the star ratings in early 2020 using its current methodology. The last update occurred in February 2019.
