Consultancy Perficient has released an AI suite to help Medicare Advantage plans improve their CMS star ratings, which control access to more than $13B a year in federal bonus payments. The company says the tools use predictive analytics, simulation modelling and what it calls agent-driven engagement, but disclosed no customers, pricing or results. The launch came a day after CMS published 2027 ratings showing 188 of 508 rated contracts reached four stars or more, down from 229 of 516 a year earlier.
