Compare 394 California Medicare Advantage Plans for 2027 From 36 Carriers

SACRAMENTO — Californians with Medicare can start comparing their 2027 Medicare Advantage choices now, ahead of the December 7, 2026 close of the Annual Enrollment Period. According to the CMS Medicare Advantage Landscape Source File for CY2027, 394 Medicare Advantage plans from 36 carriers are listed statewide for California next year. A plan listed statewide is not necessarily offered in every county, so each reader's comparison has to be done at the county level.

Key takeaways

  • California has 394 Medicare Advantage plans listed from 36 carriers for 2027, and all 394 include drug coverage.
  • 66 plans are new for 2027 and 74 are not returning, so the plan you have today may look different or may not be offered next year.
  • Availability is county by county, so compare only the plans offered where you live using the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov.
  • The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 – December 7, 2026, and a choice made in it takes effect January 1, 2027.

The statewide numbers for 2027

CMS lists 394 Medicare Advantage plans in California for 2027, offered by 36 carriers. All 394 plans include prescription drug coverage. Compared with the CY2026 Landscape file, 66 plans are new for 2027 and 74 plans are not returning for 2027. Year-over-year change at this scale is normal, and it is the reason many people re-check their plan every fall even when they are happy with it.

These are statewide counts. A plan that appears on the statewide list may be offered only in certain counties, and some counties will have far fewer choices than the statewide total suggests. The county-level view in the Medicare Plan Finder is what matters when you are deciding.

Plan types and Special Needs Plans

By plan type, the 2027 California list includes 290 HMO plans, 86 HMO-POS plans, and 18 PPO plans. The differences among these types mostly come down to how you access care — whether you need a referral, whether out-of-network care is covered, and under what conditions — rather than price. The Evidence of Coverage for a specific plan is the place to confirm those rules.

Special Needs Plans (SNPs) serve people who meet specific eligibility rules. For 2027, California's statewide counts include 50 Dual Eligible SNPs (D-SNPs) for people with both Medicare and Medi-Cal, 77 Chronic Condition SNPs (C-SNPs) for people with qualifying conditions, and 8 Institutional SNPs (I-SNPs) for people who live in or need the level of care typically provided in a nursing facility. If you think a SNP may fit your situation, confirm eligibility before you enroll.

The carriers

The 36 carriers in the CY2027 California Landscape file range from statewide names to county-based and local health plans. The companion carrier table on this page lists each one with its 2027 plan count and plan types.

A quick read of that table shows how varied the field is. Some carriers — such as Aetna (CVS Health), Alignment Health Plan, Blue Shield of California, Centene (WellCare), Elevance Health (Anthem), Humana, Kaiser Permanente, SCAN Health Plan and UnitedHealthcare — carry larger statewide plan counts. Others are tied to a single county or region, including Alameda Alliance for Health, CalOptima Health OneCare, CenCal CareConnect, Central California Alliance for Health, Community Health Group, Community Health Plan of Imperial Valley, Contra Costa Health Care Plus, Gold Coast Health Plan, Health Plan of San Joaquin / Mountain Valley Health Plan Advantage D-SNP, HEALTH PLAN OF SAN MATEO, IEHP DualChoice, Kern Family Health Care Medicare, L.A. Care Health Plan, San Francisco Health Plan and Santa Clara Family Health Plan. Several carriers — among them AHF, Align Senior Care, Aspire Health, Astiva Health, CCHP, Champion Heath Plan, Clever Care Health Plan, Elite Health Plan, Imperial Health Plan of California, Molina Healthcare of California, UCLA Health Medicare Advantage Plan and VillageHealth — round out the list. Being on the statewide list does not mean a carrier offers a plan in your county.

A step-by-step way to compare the plans in your own county

Working through the same checklist for each plan on your county's list keeps the comparison honest.

1. Make your personal lists. Write down your doctors and specialists, the hospitals and clinics you want to use, your current prescriptions (name, dose and how often), and the pharmacies you prefer, including any mail-order pharmacy. 2. Read your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC). If you are already in a Medicare Advantage plan, the ANOC your plan mailed in September explains what changes on January 1, 2027. Keep it next to you. 3. Open the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov. Enter your ZIP code so you only see plans offered in your county. Enter your drug list and your pharmacies when prompted. The Plan Finder is where you look up premiums, deductibles, copays, extra benefits, drug coverage details, pharmacy pricing and star ratings for each specific plan. 4. Check doctors and hospitals. For each plan you are considering, confirm your providers in that plan's current directory, or call the provider's office and ask whether they will accept that specific plan in 2027. 5. Check prescriptions and pharmacies. In the Plan Finder, confirm each drug is covered under that plan and see how it is priced at your preferred pharmacy. 6. Read the Evidence of Coverage (EOC) for finalists. The EOC is the plan's full rulebook — referrals, prior authorization, out-of-network rules and appeals. 7. Write down your decision and your reasons. If you later get a call or a mailer that contradicts what you found, you will have your own notes to check against.

What to do before December 7

The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 – December 7, 2026. A choice made during that window takes effect January 1, 2027. If you want to keep the plan you have and it is being offered again in your county, you do not need to do anything. If you want to switch plans, join a plan, or move between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage, do it by December 7, 2026. If your current plan is among the 74 not returning for 2027, you will receive a non-renewal notice from the plan explaining your options and the timeframe to choose a new one.

Special Needs Plans serve people with Medicare and Medicaid (D-SNP), certain chronic conditions (C-SNP) or living in an institution (I-SNP).

Does a plan on the statewide list mean it is offered in my county?
