This article focuses only on Humana because that is one carrier readers have asked about this fall. MyMedicarePlans.org is an independent consumer site and is not Humana or Medicare. Eight other carriers also sell Medicare Advantage plans in Fayette County for 2027, for a county total of 66 plans across all carriers.
How many Humana Medicare Advantage plans are offered in Lexington for 2027?
Humana is offering 20 Medicare Advantage plans in Fayette County — the county Lexington is in — for the 2027 plan year, according to the CMS Medicare Advantage Landscape Source File. By type, that is 5 HMOs and 15 PPOs. Seventeen of the 20 include Part D prescription drug coverage; three do not.
That is a smaller lineup than Humana offered in the county for 2026, when 23 Humana plans were available. Medicare plan availability is set at the county level, so the same lineup applies across Fayette County, not just inside Lexington city limits.
What is new, renamed or not returning in Humana's 2027 lineup?
Four Humana plans are new to Fayette County for 2027, three plans are being renamed (same plan, new name on your card and paperwork), and seven of Humana's 2026 plans will not be offered here in 2027. The table below lists every plan, and flags each one that is new or renamed.
The new plans for 2027 are Humana Dual QMB Only (HMO D-SNP), Humana Gold Plus H5619-188 (HMO), Humana Senior Living Plan (PPO I-SNP), and a second Humana Together in Health (PPO I-SNP). The three renamed plans are Humana Essentials Plus Giveback (PPO), formerly HumanaChoice Giveback H7617-049 (PPO); Humana Value Choice (PPO), formerly HumanaChoice H7617-050 (PPO); and HumanaChoice H5216-226 (PPO), formerly HumanaChoice Giveback H5216-226 (PPO).
If you are in a plan that is not returning, Medicare will send a non-renewal notice and you will have time to pick a new plan. Doing nothing in that case means losing Medicare Advantage coverage on Jan. 1, 2027 and returning to Original Medicare.
Which Humana Special Needs Plans are available in Fayette County for 2027?
Humana's 2027 lineup in Fayette County includes seven Special Needs Plans: four Dual-Eligible SNPs (D-SNPs) for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid, and three Institutional SNPs (I-SNPs) for people who live in or need the level of care provided in a long-term care setting. Humana is not offering a Chronic Condition SNP (C-SNP) in the county for 2027, after offering one for kidney disease in 2026.
The 2027 D-SNPs are Humana Dual QMB Only (HMO D-SNP), Humana Dual Select H5619-075 (HMO D-SNP), Humana Gold Plus SNP-DE H5619-163 (HMO D-SNP), and HumanaChoice SNP-DE H5525-045 (PPO D-SNP). The 2027 I-SNPs are Humana Senior Living Plan (PPO I-SNP) and two plans named Humana Together in Health (PPO I-SNP). SNPs have eligibility rules; you have to qualify to enroll.
How do I check a Humana plan against my doctors and prescriptions before Dec. 7?
The quickest, most accurate check is on Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov. Sign in with your Medicare number, enter your prescriptions and your pharmacy, and the tool will show each plan's drug list, pharmacy pricing and estimated full-year cost for your specific drugs. Call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048) 24 hours a day, seven days a week if you prefer help by phone.
For doctors and hospitals, use the plan's own provider directory, because networks can change between plan years. Call the office directly and ask whether they will be in-network for the exact plan name and plan ID for 2027 — not just "Humana." For prescription drugs, confirm the drug is on the 2027 formulary and check its tier, any prior authorization, and the preferred pharmacies.
What changes in Medicare itself for 2027?
Two Part D figures are confirmed for 2027. The Part D out-of-pocket cap rises to $2,400 (up from $2,100 in 2026), and the Part D maximum deductible rises to $700 (up from $615 in 2026). CMS has also set the 2027 Part D national base beneficiary premium at $41.33 — that is a formula input CMS uses, not the premium any specific plan charges.
The 2027 standard Part B premium and deductible, and the 2027 IRMAA income brackets and surcharges, had not been announced as of September 2026. CMS usually publishes those figures in the fall, typically in November.
The Annual Enrollment Period runs Oct. 15 – Dec. 7, 2026, and any change takes effect Jan. 1, 2027. If you do nothing and your plan is offered again next year, it renews automatically with the changes in your ANOC. If you end up in a Medicare Advantage plan on Jan. 1 and want to switch, the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period runs Jan. 1 – March 31, 2027 and lets you make one change.
