Why Bladder Control Care Quality Varies by Plan
Urinary incontinence affects more than a third of women and about one in six men over 65, and it's one of the most under-discussed conditions in Medicare — many patients assume it's an untreatable part of aging and never raise it with their doctor. CMS's Improving Bladder Control measure, drawn from the patient survey, asks plan members whether they were treated for bladder issues and whether the treatment helped.
Plans that score well typically screen for bladder issues at the Annual Wellness Visit, connect members to urologists or pelvic-floor therapy, and follow up on treatment response. The score on this page is the single CMS Star Ratings measure covering bladder control — a reasonable proxy for how attentively a plan's primary-care network addresses quality-of-life issues that aren't life-threatening but are life-defining.
How We Rank These Plans for Bladder Control
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 bladder control receive recommended care. For Bladder Control, we rank plans using the following measures:
- Improving Bladder Control Patient Survey
A plan must report at least 1 of 1 measures to receive a composite Bladder Control score. Plans reporting fewer measures are shown in a separate "Not Rated by CMS for Bladder Control" cohort — this typically happens with newer plans, smaller plans, or Special Needs Plans that serve narrow populations.
