What Kaiser Permanente is offering in Long Beach for 2027
Long Beach is in Los Angeles County, where Medicare Advantage plan availability is set. For plan year 2027, Kaiser Permanente's lineup in the county includes:
- 3 Medicare Advantage plans total
- 3 HMO plans (Kaiser Permanente does not offer PPO plans here)
- 1 Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP), 0 Chronic Condition SNPs, 0 Institutional SNPs
- 3 plans that include Part D prescription drug coverage
The table below lists every Kaiser Permanente plan available in the county for 2027 by name and type. We are not allowed — and would not want — to tell you which plan is "best," because the right fit depends on your doctors, your prescriptions, and your budget.
What is new, and what is not returning
Year over year, Kaiser Permanente's Los Angeles County lineup has one change: one plan offered in 2026 is not returning for 2027. There are no new plans and no renamed plans from this carrier.
The 2026 plan that is not returning is Kaiser Permanente Dual Complete South P1 (HMO D-SNP). If you are enrolled in a plan that is leaving, Kaiser Permanente will send you a notice this fall explaining your options. You have a Special Enrollment Period to pick another plan, but you still want to act well before coverage ends.
For plans that are continuing, the specifics — premium, drug list, provider network, copays, extra benefits — can change from year to year. Those details live in each plan's Annual Notice of Change (ANOC), which went out in late September. Keep that document; it is the single most useful piece of paper you will get this season.
How to check a plan against your doctors and prescriptions
Before December 7, do these three checks for any Kaiser Permanente plan you are considering (or already have):
1. Doctors and hospitals. Kaiser Permanente's HMO plans generally use Kaiser's own medical groups and facilities. Confirm that the Long Beach-area providers you want to see are in-network for the specific plan you are weighing. 2. Prescriptions. Pull up your medication list and check each drug on the plan's 2027 formulary. The tier a drug sits on, and whether it needs prior authorization, can shift from one year to the next. 3. Total cost, not just premium. Look at the premium, the drug deductible, and the copays for the services you actually use. A low premium does not always mean low total cost, and vice versa.
The Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov lets you enter your ZIP code, your pharmacy and your drug list, and it will show you side-by-side estimates for every plan in Long Beach — Kaiser Permanente's and the 19 other carriers'. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The 2027 numbers CMS has confirmed
A few program-wide figures are already set for 2027 and apply no matter which plan you pick:
- Part D out-of-pocket cap: $2,400 in 2027 (up from $2,100 in 2026). Once your out-of-pocket drug spending hits that cap, you pay $0 for covered Part D drugs the rest of the year.
- Part D maximum deductible: $700 in 2027 (up from $615 in 2026). Plans can set a lower deductible, but not higher.
- Medicare Prescription Payment Plan: still available in 2027. It lets you spread your drug costs across the year in monthly payments instead of paying at the pharmacy counter.
The 2027 Part B standard premium and deductible, and the 2027 IRMAA income brackets, have not been announced yet. CMS typically publishes those in the fall, usually in November.
Key dates to put on the calendar
- October 15 – December 7, 2026: Annual Enrollment Period. Any change you make takes effect January 1, 2027.
- January 1, 2027: New coverage begins. If you did nothing, your current plan renews with the changes in its ANOC.
- January 1 – March 31, 2027: Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment. If you are already in a Medicare Advantage plan, you get one chance to switch to another MA plan or go back to Original Medicare.
