For Medicare Advantage members in Peoria, Arizona, the 2027 plan year brings a real shuffle. According to the CMS Medicare Advantage Landscape Source Files, 13 plans offered in Maricopa County this year will not be back next year, 17 new plans are coming in, and 13 more are keeping the same underlying contract but changing names. If you take one action this fall, make it opening your mail from your plan — the Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) tells you exactly where you stand.
Key takeaways
- In Maricopa County, 13 Medicare Advantage plans are leaving after 2026 and 17 new plans arrive for 2027, based on the CMS Landscape files.
- If your plan is not being renewed, you get a Special Enrollment Period that runs through the end of February to pick a new plan.
- The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7 — that is when most members should compare and switch if needed.
- A renamed plan is not automatically a changed plan; check the ANOC before assuming your coverage is the same or different.
What "leaving," "new" and "renamed" actually mean
Peoria is in Maricopa County, where Medicare Advantage availability is set. Each fall, CMS publishes a Landscape file showing which plans are offered in each county for the coming year. Comparing 2026 to 2027 shows three kinds of changes that matter to members:
- Leaving: the plan will not be offered next year. Members must pick a new plan or return to Original Medicare.
- New: the carrier is adding a plan for 2027. Anyone eligible in the county may consider it during enrollment.
- Renamed: the plan continues under a new name. Coverage details may or may not have changed — the ANOC is the source of truth.
Separately, CMS's data shows 20 continuing plans in Maricopa County have at least one change on premium, deductible, plan type or name for 2027. That's a signal to read your ANOC, not a signal that anything specific went up or down.
Plans leaving Maricopa County after 2026
Thirteen plans available to Peoria residents in 2026 will not be offered in 2027. If you are enrolled in one of these, you will get a non-renewal letter from your carrier, and you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.

What to do, step by step

2. Check whether your plan is on the leaving list. If it is, your carrier will also send a separate non-renewal notice. You have two options:
- Pick a new Medicare Advantage plan, or
