- Customer Satisfaction is Key- The Medicare website uses a star system to rate different insurers and takes into account member experiences and how plans manage chronic conditions
- Watch Limits on Choosing Doctors – If you have specific health care professionals you’d like to see, you’ll want to check whether they’re part of the system
