How many Aetna Medicare Advantage plans are offered in Jacksonville for 2027?
Aetna is offering 10 Medicare Advantage plans in Duval County — the county Jacksonville sits in — for the 2027 plan year. That is one fewer than the 11 plans Aetna offers there in 2026.
By plan type, the 2027 lineup breaks down as 4 HMO plans, 1 HMO-POS plan, and 5 PPO plans. All 10 plans include Part D prescription drug coverage. The full roster is in the table below, with each plan's type and whether it carries drug coverage. CMS groups the carrier as Aetna (CVS Health).
For context, 13 carriers in total are offering Medicare Advantage in Duval County next year, and together they offer 87 plans. This article covers only Aetna's slice of that lineup.
What is new, renamed, or not returning in Aetna's 2027 Jacksonville lineup?
Aetna is not launching any new plans in Duval County for 2027. One of its 2026 plans is not returning, and three plans are coming back under new names.
The renamed plans are:
- Aetna Medicare Partial Dual Select (HMO D-SNP) — previously Aetna Medicare Dual Select (HMO D-SNP)
- Aetna Medicare Signature Extra (PPO) — previously Aetna Medicare Signature (PPO)
- Aetna Medicare Signature Legacy (PPO) — previously Aetna Medicare Signature (PPO)
A rename does not necessarily mean the plan is the same under a new label. Benefits, cost sharing, provider networks and drug lists can all shift from one plan year to the next. The specifics for your plan are spelled out in the Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) that Aetna mails each fall, and in the 2027 Evidence of Coverage.
If you are currently in a plan that is not returning, Medicare will send a non-renewal notice and you will have a Special Enrollment Period to pick a new plan. You do not need to wait for that letter to start comparing — Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov already shows the 2027 options.
What Special Needs Plans does Aetna offer in Duval County in 2027?
Aetna is offering three Special Needs Plans (SNPs) in the county for 2027: two Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid, and one Chronic Condition Special Needs Plan (C-SNP) for people with qualifying chronic conditions. Aetna does not offer an Institutional SNP (I-SNP) here.
SNPs are a type of Medicare Advantage plan built around a specific population, so the eligibility rules are stricter than for a standard plan. If you are considering a D-SNP, your Medicaid status matters; if you are considering a C-SNP, your doctor will typically need to confirm your qualifying condition. All three of Aetna's SNPs in Duval County include Part D drug coverage.
How do I check an Aetna plan against my doctors and prescriptions before December 7?
Start with Medicare's own tool at medicare.gov/plan-compare. You can enter your ZIP code, add your prescriptions and preferred pharmacy, and see each 2027 Aetna plan available in Duval County side by side with its network and formulary.
A short checklist before you decide:
1. Confirm your doctors and hospitals are in-network for the specific 2027 plan — not just "Aetna" generally. Networks differ between HMO, HMO-POS and PPO plans, and they can change year to year. Call the provider's billing office to confirm. 2. Check every prescription on the plan's 2027 formulary, including the tier and any prior authorization or step therapy rules. A drug that was covered in 2026 may move tiers or require new paperwork in 2027. 3. Read the ANOC your current plan sent in late September. It lists the 2027 changes to premium, deductible, copays and benefits for the plan you are in now. 4. Call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), available 24/7, if you want to walk through options with someone at Medicare.
What are the 2027 Medicare dates and figures I should know?
The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7, 2026. Any change you make during that window takes effect January 1, 2027. If you do nothing, your current plan simply renews — with the changes described in its ANOC.
A few confirmed 2027 program-level figures from CMS:
- The Part D out-of-pocket cap rises to $2,400 in 2027 (up from $2,100 in 2026).
- The Part D maximum deductible is $700 in 2027 (up from $615 in 2026).
- The Part D national base beneficiary premium is $41.33 for 2027. This is a formula input used across the program; it is not what any particular plan charges.
CMS has not yet announced the 2027 Part B standard premium and deductible or the 2027 IRMAA income brackets. Those are usually released in the fall, typically in November. We do not estimate figures that CMS has not published.
If your Medicare Advantage choice does not fit after January 1, you have one more window: the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period, January 1 – March 31, 2027, when you can switch Medicare Advantage plans once or return to Original Medicare.
