## Claims

### 50 Medicare plans are available in Beaufort, South Carolina for contract year 2026

**DERIVED.** The CMS CY2026 Medicare Landscape Files record 50 Medicare Advantage and Part D plans available in Beaufort, South Carolina. 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 Beaufort, South Carolina range from $0.00/mo to $100.00/mo (CY2026)

**RECORDED.** The CMS CY2026 Medicare Landscape Files publish per-plan monthly consolidated premiums for Beaufort, South Carolina. Across the 50 plans with a published premium, the range is $0.00/mo to $100.00/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.

Falsifier: Verify in the CMS CY2026 Medicare Landscape Files for Beaufort, South Carolina. Falsified if the CMS-published per-plan premium figures differ.

### CMS assigned star ratings to 47 of 50 Medicare plans in Beaufort, South Carolina (CY2026); average overall: 3.9 stars

**PROJECTED.** CMS issued Overall star ratings (1–5 stars) to 47 of 50 Medicare plans in Beaufort, South Carolina for CY2026. The unweighted average overall star rating across rated plans is 3.9; 2 plans received 5 stars. 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.

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 Beaufort, South Carolina (the epistemic boundary)

**INTERPRETATION.** This page lists Medicare Advantage (MA) and Part D Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) plans available in Beaufort, South Carolina 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.

Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing) and adjudged=FALSE (the atlas's reading, not a CMS verdict) — the LOWEST-warrant claim here.
