The CVS’ 2024 operating income is affected by the 2023 ratings because CMS uses the 2023 ratings to determine eligibility for the 2024 bonuses.

In the SEC filing, CVS said the main driver of the precipitous drop in members covered with plans eligible for bonus payments was a 1-star decrease in the company’s Aetna National preferred provider organization.
