How many Humana Medicare Advantage plans are offered in Arkansas for 2027?
Humana lists 23 Medicare Advantage plans across Arkansas for the 2027 plan year, per the CMS Landscape Source File. By plan type, that includes 1 HMO, 3 HMO-POS, 18 PPO, and 1 PFFS. Nineteen of the 23 plans include Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage, and 4 do not.
Humana's Arkansas lineup for 2027 also includes 7 Special Needs Plans: 5 Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid, and 2 Chronic Condition Special Needs Plans (C-SNPs). There are no Institutional SNPs. For context, CMS lists 10 Medicare Advantage carriers in Arkansas for 2027 and 84 Medicare Advantage plans in total statewide; Humana is one of those carriers. The full plan-by-plan list on this page is rendered as a table from the CMS file.
Which Humana plans in Arkansas have the widest county reach for 2027?
Based on county counts in the 2027 CMS Landscape file, Humana's broadest Arkansas footprint belongs to the two Humana USAA Honor Giveback (PPO) listings offered in 75 and 72 counties, and HumanaChoice R1532-002 (Regional PPO), also offered in 75 counties. Humana USAA Honor Giveback (Regional PPO) is offered in 75 counties as well.
Several other PPOs cover large portions of the state in 2027, including HumanaChoice Giveback H5216-264 (PPO) and Humana Essentials Plus Giveback (PPO) in 65 counties each. On the Special Needs side, Humana Dual Select H5216-361 (PPO D-SNP), Humana Dual Select H7617-074 (PPO D-SNP), HumanaChoice SNP-DE H5216-219 (PPO D-SNP), HumanaChoice SNP-DE H7617-075 (PPO D-SNP), and the two HumanaChoice – Diabetes and Heart (PPO C-SNP) listings are each offered in 63 Arkansas counties. Smaller-footprint options include HumanaChoice H5216-097 (PPO), offered in 1 county. The full county counts for every plan are shown in the table on this page.
What is new or not returning for Humana in Arkansas for 2027?
For the 2027 plan year, Humana has 0 new plans in Arkansas and 1 plan that is not returning. Several existing plans were renamed rather than discontinued: Humana Essentials Plus Giveback (PPO) was previously HumanaChoice Giveback H7617-056 (PPO); Humana Total Complete (HMO-POS) was previously Humana Gold Plus H5619-111 (HMO-POS); and Humana Value Choice (PPO) was previously HumanaChoice H7617-066 (PPO).
A rename is not the same as a plan exit, but anyone enrolled in a renamed plan should still read the Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) that Humana mails in the fall, because the plan ID can carry forward while cost-sharing, drug formulary, or provider network details may change year to year. If your current plan is the one not returning for 2027, Humana will send a non-renewal notice explaining your options.
How do I check whether a Humana plan is offered in my Arkansas county and covers my doctors and drugs?
Use the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov, enter your ZIP code, and the tool will show which of Humana's 2027 Arkansas plans are actually offered in your county. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Because Arkansas plans are sold county by county, the statewide list of 23 Humana plans is not the list in any single county. Once you see the plans available where you live, confirm three things directly with the plan or in its Evidence of Coverage and provider and pharmacy directories: that your doctors, hospitals, and other providers are in network for 2027; that each of your prescriptions is on the plan's 2027 formulary at a tier you can live with; and that any pharmacy you prefer is a network pharmacy. This article does not list premiums, copays, benefits, networks, or star ratings for any plan.
What should Arkansas Medicare beneficiaries do before December 7, 2026?
Annual Enrollment 2027 runs from October 15 through December 7, 2026, and any enrollment or change made in that window takes effect January 1, 2027. Before December 7, 2026, Arkansas beneficiaries can review the Annual Notice of Change for their current plan, compare it against other 2027 options on medicare.gov, and either keep their coverage, switch Medicare Advantage plans, or move between Medicare Advantage and Original Medicare with a stand-alone Part D plan.
A short checklist: list your current prescriptions with dosages; list your regular providers and preferred pharmacies; gather your Medicare number; and note whether you qualify for Extra Help, Medicaid, or a Medicare Savings Program, which can affect which plans (including D-SNPs) you are eligible for.
Where can Arkansans get free help comparing 2027 Medicare plans?
Free, official help is available year-round from Medicare itself. Medicare.gov hosts the Plan Finder, where you can enter your ZIP code, drugs, and providers to compare every 2027 Medicare Advantage and Part D plan available in your Arkansas county. 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048) is staffed 24/7 and can walk you through enrollment, disenrollment, and questions about Original Medicare.
For plan-specific questions — a particular doctor, a particular drug, prior authorization, or how a benefit works — the most reliable source is the plan's own member services line and its Evidence of Coverage document for 2027.
