Medicare Advantage PPO plans in Connecticut
There are 28 Medicare Advantage PPO plans in Connecticut from 6 carriers, averaging 4.06 out of 5 stars across the 16 plans CMS has rated. 64% of those with a published premium charge $0 a month (18 of 28); beyond the premium, what separates them is network, drug coverage and how much you could owe in a bad year.
Across the 28 PPO plans in Connecticut that publish one, the in-network out-of-pocket maximum has a median of $7,275 and tops out at $9,850 — the ceiling on what you pay in a year for covered in-network care. The mean is $7,893, which sits above the median — the spread is not symmetric, so the median is the better guide.
Connecticut has 1 five-star Medicare Advantage PPO plan.
Of the 28 PPO plans here, 1 carry CMS's top overall rating of 5 stars and 14 rate 4 or above. That matters beyond quality: a 5-star plan can be joined at almost any point in the year through a special enrollment period, rather than only during the autumn window.
12 of Connecticut's PPO plans carry no star rating yet.
CMS rates a contract, not a plan, and does not rate one that is too new or has too little data — so 12 plans here shows no rating at all. Unrated is not the same as badly rated; it usually means a new contract, and those plans have to be judged on benefits and network instead.
