Three UnitedHealth Medicare Advantage contracts earn five stars for 2027
CMS’s 2027 ratings list UnitedHealth Group contracts H0710, H2292 and H5652 at five stars, with October 2026 enrollment of 45,252, 8,859 and 6,996, respectively. CMS says the ratings will affect 2028 Medicare Advantage quality bonus payments. H0710 and H2292 were not five-star contracts the prior year; H5652 was.
Why this matters
The two contracts newly reaching five stars give UnitedHealth a potential payment benefit and a quality credential during the 2027 enrollment period. But the listed enrollment totals 61,107 members, and CMS provides no estimate of the resulting bonus dollars. That makes this a positive contract-level development, not evidence of a large company-wide earnings lift. The key economic test is whether bonus payments and enrollment gains follow the ratings; the current table establishes neither.
