72 Medicare Advantage plans are available for 2027. Because Anderson is served by Madison County (part of Anderson area), those are the options on the table locally. About 61% of the county's Medicare members are in a Medicare Advantage plan rather than Original Medicare, among the roughly 24,810 residents who are 65 or older.
It surprises people, but Medicare plan availability is drawn up county by county rather than by city or state — which is why a guide like this attributes everything to the surrounding county.

Advantage or Original Medicare? The basic fork
Every Medicare decision in Anderson, Indiana branches from one question: do you want your coverage delivered through a private Medicare Advantage plan, or do you want to stay with Original Medicare and build around it?
Go the Medicare Advantage route and a private plan (approved by Medicare) handles your Part A and Part B, typically folds in drug coverage — within a network and a county-based service area.
Stay with Original Medicare and you keep nationwide provider freedom, then usually add a stand-alone Part D drug plan and often a Medigap policy to cover what Original Medicare doesn't.
There's no single winner here — it comes down to your providers, your medications, and your budget. We explain the trade-offs and leave the choice to you; we don't rank plans.

MA penetration from CMS enrollment data; Medigap share is an estimate. U.S. average is about 54% Medicare Advantage. These are area-level figures, not plan-specific.
What Medicare costs in 2027
It helps to separate the costs everyone shares from the costs that vary by plan. The program-level numbers here are set nationally — the same whether you're in a big city or a rural county.
Part B premium. Most people pay the standard Part B premium of $202.9 a month in 2026 (2026 amount; 2027 figure will be posted when CMS releases it). Part A is premium-free for most people who worked and paid Medicare taxes long enough.
Part D drug costs. In 2027, a Part D plan's yearly deductible can be no more than $700, and a $2,400 cap limits what you pay out of pocket for covered prescriptions across the year — a real change for anyone with high drug costs.
Higher earners pay more for Parts B and D through an income-related adjustment called IRMAA, which for 2026 starts above $109,000 in annual income for an individual and is based on your 2024 tax return. Most people fall below that line and pay the standard amounts. The 2027 brackets will be posted when CMS releases them.
Plan-specific costs. What an individual plan charges — its premium, deductible, copays, and what it covers — varies by plan and changes yearly. We don't publish those figures or rank plans; Medicare's Plan Finder shows the current details for your situation, and a licensed agent can walk you through them.
By the numbers
Medicare Part B premium, 2006–2026

When you can enroll or make changes

Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment. From January 1 – March 31, if you're already in an Advantage plan you get one chance to switch plans or return to Original Medicare.
