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
How to read the composite score: Scores range 0–100 and are a weighted average of the measures above (higher is better). As a rough guide: 85+ is excellent, 70–84 is solid, 55–69 is average, and below 55 suggests many members with fall prevention aren't receiving recommended care. A plan with a missing score isn't necessarily worse — it simply didn't report enough measures for CMS to calculate one.

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.

Your Next Steps

If you or a family member has fall prevention, here's a practical checklist for choosing a Medicare plan:

  • Check the Fall Prevention score column above. A higher composite score means the plan's existing members with fall prevention receive recommended care more consistently.
  • Verify your specialists are in-network. Plan networks vary by carrier. See local Fall Prevention doctors and call their offices to confirm your shortlisted plans are accepted.
  • Check your medications. If you take prescription drugs for fall prevention, confirm they're on the plan's formulary at an affordable tier. Drug coverage changes every January.
  • Look at the Medication Adherence measure. CMS separately measures how consistently a plan's members stay on their medications. High adherence scores correlate with plans that proactively support chronic-care patients.
  • Respect the enrollment window. You can only switch plans during specific periods. Review enrollment dates →

Fall Prevention & Medicare: Common Questions

How is the Fall Prevention score calculated for plans near 72032, AR?
The score is a weighted average (0–100) of CMS's condition-specific quality measures. For Fall Prevention, CMS tracks several measures including clinical outcomes, medication adherence, and preventive services — the exact measures are listed in the "How We Rank These Plans" section above. Each plan's score reflects how well its enrollees with fall prevention are actually receiving recommended care. See our full methodology →
What if no plan near 72032, AR has a Fall Prevention score?
Smaller plans, newer plans, and some Special Needs Plans don't report enough data on fall prevention measures for CMS to compute a score. That doesn't mean those plans are worse — it just means you can't compare them head-to-head on fall prevention care specifically. For those plans, look at the overall Star Rating, call the plan's member services, and verify that your specialists are in-network before enrolling.
Are my specialists in-network with the top-rated Fall Prevention plans near 72032, AR?
Plan networks vary by carrier and by year. The most reliable answer comes from calling each specialist's office directly — plan provider directories are often out of date. We list local specialists near 72032, AR further down this page; once you've shortlisted 1–2 plans, call each office and ask whether they accept that specific plan.
Do these plan scores predict my personal experience with fall prevention?
They're directional, not deterministic. A plan's Fall Prevention score reflects how well its existing members with fall prevention are being cared for on average. Your own experience will depend heavily on which primary-care physician and specialists you see, whether your medications are on the plan's formulary, and how proactive you are about preventive visits. That said, plans with consistently low scores usually have systemic problems worth avoiding.
When can I change my Medicare plan if I want a better Fall Prevention plan?
For most Medicare beneficiaries, the main opportunity is the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 – December 7) for a January 1 effective date. Medicare Advantage members also have a Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (January 1 – March 31) to switch MA plans or return to Original Medicare. Special Enrollment Periods apply in some situations (moving, losing employer coverage, dual-eligibility changes). Review all enrollment dates →
