Why Blood Pressure Care Quality Varies by Plan
Uncontrolled high blood pressure is the most preventable cause of stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure in older adults — and the two CMS measures on this page directly test whether a plan's enrollees are achieving blood-pressure control and staying on their prescribed medications.
Controlling High Blood Pressure rewards plans whose members maintain a blood pressure below 140/90 based on measurement within the last year. Medication Adherence for Hypertension rewards plans whose members fill their prescriptions consistently. Plans that score well typically invest in blood-pressure self-monitoring programs, medication synchronization at the pharmacy, and telephonic nurse follow-up. The composite score on this page is the plan's weighted average across both measures.
How We Rank These Plans for Blood Pressure
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 high blood pressure care receive recommended care. For High Blood Pressure Care, we rank plans using the following measures:
- Controlling Blood Pressure Clinical
- Medication Adherence for Hypertension (Ras Antagonists) Adherence
A plan must report at least 2 of 2 measures to receive a composite Blood Pressure score. Plans reporting fewer measures are shown in a separate "Not Rated by CMS for Blood Pressure" cohort — this typically happens with newer plans, smaller plans, or Special Needs Plans that serve narrow populations.
