Why Fall Prevention Care Quality Varies by Plan
Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury among older adults and the most common cause of non-fatal trauma-related hospital admissions in Medicare. CMS's Reducing the Risk of Falling measure is drawn from the patient survey and asks plan members directly: did your provider discuss falls, recommend an intervention (exercise, home safety, medication review), and follow up?
Plans that score well typically run dedicated fall-prevention assessments as part of the Annual Wellness Visit, partner with physical therapy, and review medication lists for fall-risk drugs. Plans that score poorly leave the conversation to chance. The score on this page is the single CMS Star Ratings measure for fall prevention.
How We Rank These Plans for Fall Prevention
CMS publishes annual Star Ratings for Part C and Part D plans. Within those ratings, several measures are condition-specific — they directly reflect how well a plan's enrollees with fall prevention receive recommended care. For Fall Prevention, we rank plans using the following measures:
- Reducing the Risk of Falling Patient Survey
A plan must report at least 1 of 1 measures to receive a composite Fall Prevention score. Plans reporting fewer measures are shown in a separate "Not Rated by CMS for Fall Prevention" cohort — this typically happens with newer plans, smaller plans, or Special Needs Plans that serve narrow populations.
