CC0. ## Claims ### 16 Medicare plans are available in Kootenai, Idaho for contract year 2026 **DERIVED.** The CMS CY2026 Medicare Landscape Files record 16 Medicare Advantage and Part D plans available in Kootenai, Idaho. Atlas Commons counted the rows; CMS published the underlying plan×county records, not this county-level total. Source: CMS CY2026 Medicare Landscape Files — https://www.cms.gov/medicare/health-drug-plans/medicare-advantage/plan-information/plan-information Falsifier: occurred=TRUE: a faithful COUNT/SUM/total over the named record set that introduces NO modeling choice — it IS the case in the record. adjudged=FALSE: Atlas Commons computed the aggregate; CMS CY2026 Medicare Landscape Files published the underlying records, NOT this figure. Re-count it from the named source to verify. Distinct from a median/ratio/index (which picks a population, weighting, denominator, or threshold — a constructed statistic → 'derived', occurred=FALSE) and from an authority-published total (→ 'recorded', adjudged=TRUE). ### Monthly premiums for Medicare plans in Kootenai, Idaho range from $0.00/mo to $94.00/mo (CY2026) **RECORDED.** The CMS CY2026 Medicare Landscape Files publish per-plan monthly consolidated premiums for Kootenai, Idaho. Across the 16 plans with a published premium, the range is $0.00/mo to $94.00/mo. These are the plan's base monthly premium — your actual cost depends on income-related adjustments (IRMAA), any applicable Low Income Subsidy (LIS/Extra Help), and your Part B premium. A $0 plan premium does not mean $0 total cost.

Falsified if the CMS-published per-plan premium figures differ. ### CMS assigned star ratings to 13 of 16 Medicare plans in Kootenai, Idaho (CY2026); average overall: 3.7 stars **PROJECTED.** CMS issued Overall star ratings (1–5 stars) to 13 of 16 Medicare plans in Kootenai, Idaho for CY2026. The unweighted average overall star rating across rated plans is 3.7. Star ratings are CMS quality scores — an institutional determination, not a measured event. A higher rating reflects better performance across CMS quality measures. Ratings cover the contract's overall performance, not this county specifically; a plan may be available in your county with a rating earned across its full service area. Source: CMS CY2026 Medicare Landscape Files — https://www.cms.gov/medicare/health-drug-plans/medicare-advantage/plan-information/plan-information Falsifier: Verify CMS star ratings for these contract IDs at the CMS Medicare Plan Finder or the CMS star ratings dataset. Falsified if the CMS-published ratings for these contracts differ. Note: PDP-only plans and newly contracted plans may not have an overall star rating — the 3 unrated plans in this county are not rated, not unqualified. ### What these Medicare plan figures are — and are NOT — for Kootenai, Idaho (the epistemic boundary) **INTERPRETATION.** This page lists Medicare Advantage (MA) and Part D Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) plans available in Kootenai, Idaho for CY2026, with their CMS-published base premiums and CMS star ratings. The premiums shown are the PLAN's base monthly premium — your actual monthly cost depends on the Part B premium (deducted from Social Security for most enrollees), income-related premium adjustments (IRMAA), and any Low Income Subsidy (Extra Help). A star rating is CMS's quality score for the plan's overall performance — a higher rating is generally better, but the "best" plan depends on your specific prescriptions, preferred doctors, and budget. This surface informs and compares; it does NOT rank plans, recommend a "best" plan, or account for your individual situation. To compare plans with your specific drugs and providers and to enroll, use the official Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov/plan-compare.
