LOS ANGELES — If you have a Medicare Advantage plan in Los Angeles County, this fall's mail is worth opening carefully. When CMS's 2027 plan file is compared with 2026, 23 Medicare Advantage plans are leaving the county, 26 are new, and 23 are keeping the same idea but changing their name. One carrier, Central Health Medicare Plan, will not offer plans here next year.
Key takeaways
- In Los Angeles County, 23 Medicare Advantage plans are leaving after 2026, 26 are new for 2027, and 23 are renamed; another 38 continuing plans have some change on file.
- Central Health Medicare Plan is not offering Medicare Advantage plans in Los Angeles County next year; its members will need to choose a new plan or return to Original Medicare.
- If your plan is being discontinued, you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period that runs through the end of February to switch plans.
- Read your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC), then compare options during the Annual Enrollment Period (Oct. 15–Dec. 7) or the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (Jan. 1–March 31).
That matters right now because the Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7, and if your plan is not being renewed, you have extra time — through the end of February — to pick a new one.
What is actually changing in Los Angeles County
Los Angeles is in Los Angeles County, where Medicare Advantage availability is set. For the 2027 plan year, the CMS Landscape file shows 20 carriers active in the county, with plans across HMO, HMO-POS and PPO types, including a large number of Special Needs Plans (SNPs) for people with certain conditions, dual Medicare-Medi-Cal eligibility, or who live in an institution.
Comparing the 2026 and 2027 files side by side:
- 75 plans continue with no change flagged.
- 38 continuing plans are marked as changing on premium, deductible, plan type or name. CMS's file says a change exists — the specifics live in your plan's Annual Notice of Change.
- 23 plans are leaving after 2026.
- 26 plans are new for 2027.
- 23 plans are renamed (same plan idea, new label on your card and paperwork).
The full lineup is in the table on this page.
