Chandler is in Maricopa County, where Medicare Advantage availability is set at the county level. The lineup below is what the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) lists for HealthSpring in that county for the 2027 plan year. MyMedicarePlans.org is an independent news and education site; we are not HealthSpring, and 15 other carriers also offer Medicare Advantage plans in the county for 2027.
Which HealthSpring Medicare Advantage plans are offered in Chandler for 2027?
HealthSpring offers five Medicare Advantage plans in Maricopa County for the 2027 plan year — four HMOs and one PPO — and all five include prescription drug coverage. One of the HMOs is a Chronic Condition Special Needs Plan (C-SNP), designed for people with certain qualifying health conditions.
CMS lists these plans under HealthSpring's parent organization, Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC), but they are marketed as HealthSpring plans. The table below lists every HealthSpring plan available in the county for 2027. In alphabetical order, they are: HealthSpring Achieve (HMO C-SNP), HealthSpring Preferred (HMO), HealthSpring Preferred Extra Savings (HMO), HealthSpring Preferred Savings (HMO), and HealthSpring True Choice (PPO).
What is new or not returning for HealthSpring in Maricopa County in 2027?
Compared with 2026, HealthSpring has one plan not returning for 2027, no brand-new plans, and two plans that have been renamed. HealthSpring Preferred (HMO) was previously called HealthSpring Alliance (HMO), and HealthSpring Preferred Extra Savings (HMO) was previously called HealthSpring Preferred Full Savings (HMO).
A renamed plan is not the same as an unchanged plan. The Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) that HealthSpring mails to current members each fall spells out what is different — benefits, drug lists, provider networks and cost-sharing can all shift from one plan year to the next.
What should I do if my HealthSpring plan is not returning in 2027?
If your current HealthSpring plan is the one not returning in 2027, you have a Special Enrollment Period to switch to another Medicare Advantage plan or go back to Original Medicare with a standalone Part D plan. You should receive a non-renewal notice from the plan before the end of 2026 explaining your options and deadlines.
You do not have to pick another HealthSpring plan. In Maricopa County, there are 92 Medicare Advantage plans from 16 carriers total for 2027, so there is a wide field to compare on the Medicare Plan Finder.
How do I check a plan against my doctors and prescriptions before Dec. 7?
Use the official Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov, or call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Plan Finder lets you enter your prescriptions and preferred pharmacies, and it shows each plan's drug list, estimated yearly drug costs, and network details.
For doctors and hospitals, check each plan's own provider directory — networks can change on Jan. 1 even when the plan name stays the same. The plan's Evidence of Coverage and Summary of Benefits are the authoritative documents for what is and is not covered.
What are the Medicare dates and dollar figures I should know for 2027?
Annual Enrollment for 2027 coverage runs Oct. 15 through Dec. 7, 2026, and any change you make takes effect Jan. 1, 2027. If you keep a Medicare Advantage plan and change your mind, the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period runs Jan. 1 – March 31, 2027, when you can make one switch.
CMS has confirmed several Part D figures for 2027: the out-of-pocket cap rises to $2,400 (from $2,100 in 2026), the maximum plan deductible rises to $700 (from $615 in 2026), and the national base beneficiary premium — a formula input, not what any plan charges — is $41.33. The 2027 Part B standard premium, deductible and IRMAA income brackets have not yet been announced; CMS typically publishes them in November.
