Alignment Healthcare earns 4-Star or higher ratings for six plans

Alignment Healthcare Inc., a company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker ALHC, announced today that six of its seven Medicare Advantage contracts have earned a rating of 4 Stars or higher in the 2027 ratings released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The remaining contract, located in California, received a 3.5-Star rating.

Three of the high-performing contracts are situated in Arizona, California, Nevada, North Carolina, and Texas, each achieving a 4.5-Star rating. The company's California H3815 HMO contract specifically received this lower rating.

The Medicare Star Rating system, utilized by the CMS, assesses health plan performance using member feedback, healthcare quality indicators, customer service metrics, and clinical performance measures. However, Alignment Healthcare believes the 3.5-Star rating for the H3815 contract does not accurately represent the contract's performance in terms of quality measures, clinical outcomes, and member experience.

Dawn Maroney, president of Alignment Health and CEO of Alignment Health Plan, expressed confidence in the company's ability to improve the California HMO contract's rating. The company is prepared to pursue administrative remedies and litigation against the rating methods, due to perceived inconsistencies and concerns regarding the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' evaluation methodologies.

These ratings, based on data from September 2026, reflect enrollment figures for Medicare Advantage plans offered by Alignment Healthcare in various states across the United States.
