According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), the percentage of Humana's membership in plans rated four stars or higher fell to roughly 37% in July from 78% the previous year.  On October 12, 2016, Humana advised investors that the downgrade of the Company's Medicare star-quality rating could lower its federal reimbursements.  Humana stated that it will take actions "to mitigate any potential negative impact of these published ratings on star bonus revenues for 2018," including seeking reconsideration of certain ratings and that the Company believes the decline stems from a recently-ended program audit by the CMS.  

On this news, Humana stock fell $9.09, or 5.12%, to close at $168.44 on October 12, 2016.
