Key takeaways
- Aetna will offer 11 Medicare Advantage plans in Fulton County for 2027: 5 HMOs and 6 PPOs, with 10 of them including drug coverage.
- One Aetna plan is new for 2027 (Aetna Medicare Prime Care (HMO)) and 4 of its 2026 plans are not returning; your ANOC lists any changes to your current plan.
- Of Aetna's 2027 plans, 5 are Special Needs Plans (4 D-SNPs for people with both Medicare and Medicaid, and 1 C-SNP for people with certain chronic conditions).
- The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 – December 7, 2026; a change made in that window takes effect January 1, 2027, and doing nothing renews your current plan if it is offered next year.

How many Aetna Medicare Advantage plans are offered in Atlanta for 2027?
In Fulton County, the county Atlanta is in, Aetna (which CMS groups as Aetna (CVS Health)) will offer 11 Medicare Advantage plans in 2027. By plan type, that is 5 HMOs and 6 PPOs. Ten of the 11 include Part D drug coverage; one does not.
The table below lists every Aetna plan available in the county for 2027, with its type and whether it includes drug coverage. Aetna is one of 10 carriers selling Medicare Advantage in the county next year, and across all carriers there are 90 plans — so if an Aetna option is not a fit, there is a wider market to compare on medicare.gov.
What is new or not returning from Aetna in Fulton County for 2027?
Aetna has one new plan for 2027 in the county — Aetna Medicare Prime Care (HMO) — and four of its 2026 plans are not returning. Nothing is renamed.
If you are in one of the plans that is not returning, Aetna is required to send you a non-renewal notice explaining your options. You will have a Special Enrollment Period to choose a different plan. If your current Aetna plan is continuing, read the Annual Notice of Change you received in September; it lists any adjustments to premiums, cost sharing, the drug formulary, and the provider network for 2027.
Which Aetna Special Needs Plans are available in Atlanta for 2027?
Aetna's 2027 lineup in Fulton County includes 5 Special Needs Plans: 4 Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs), for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid, and 1 Chronic Condition Special Needs Plan (C-SNP), for people with certain qualifying chronic conditions. There are no Institutional Special Needs Plans (I-SNPs) in this carrier's local lineup.
SNPs have eligibility rules. To join a D-SNP, you need to qualify for Medicaid in Georgia; to join a C-SNP, you need a doctor's confirmation of a qualifying condition. The Aetna SNPs in Fulton County for 2027 are named in the table below.
How do I check an Aetna plan against my doctors and prescriptions before December 7?
Use Medicare's Plan Finder at medicare.gov/plan-compare. Enter your ZIP code, add the prescriptions you take (with the dose and how often), and add your preferred pharmacies. The tool will show each plan's estimated yearly drug cost, its formulary tier for your medicines, and whether your pharmacy is preferred.
For doctors and hospitals, check the plan's own provider directory on the carrier's website, and call your doctor's office to confirm they will be in-network for the specific 2027 plan you are considering — networks can change year to year. If you want to talk it through, 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048) is open 24/7.
What else should Atlanta readers know about 2027 Medicare costs?
A few program-level numbers are already set for 2027. The Part D out-of-pocket cap rises to $2,400 (from $2,100 in 2026), and the Part D maximum deductible a plan can charge rises to $700 (from $615 in 2026). The Part D national base beneficiary premium for 2027 is $41.33 — that is a formula input CMS uses, not what any specific plan charges.
The 2027 Part B standard premium and deductible, and the 2027 IRMAA income brackets, have not been announced yet. CMS typically publishes those figures later in the fall.
The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7, 2026 for 2027 coverage. If you do nothing and your plan is offered next year, it renews automatically with the changes described in your ANOC. If you want to switch after January 1, Medicare Advantage members have the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period from January 1 to March 31, 2027 to make one change.
