How many HealthSpring Medicare Advantage plans are offered in Missouri for 2027?
HealthSpring lists 5 Medicare Advantage plans in Missouri for the 2027 plan year, according to the CMS Landscape Source File. By plan type, that breaks down to 4 HMOs and 1 PPO. Two of the five are Special Needs Plans — both D-SNPs (Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans, designed for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid). HealthSpring lists no C-SNPs and no I-SNPs in Missouri for 2027. All 5 plans include prescription drug coverage.
For context, CMS shows 11 other carriers offering Medicare Advantage plans in Missouri for 2027, and 174 Medicare Advantage plans statewide across all carriers combined. HealthSpring is one carrier within that larger field.
Which HealthSpring plans have the widest county reach in Missouri for 2027?
All 5 of HealthSpring's Missouri plans for 2027 are listed in 7 counties each, based on the CMS Landscape file. In alphabetical order, those plans are:
- HealthSpring Preferred (HMO)
- HealthSpring Preferred Savings (HMO)
- HealthSpring TotalCare (HMO D-SNP)
- HealthSpring TotalCare Plus (HMO D-SNP)
- HealthSpring True Choice (PPO)
The full plan list on this page shows the plan type and county count for each. Because every plan is offered county by county, two neighbors in different Missouri counties may see different HealthSpring options — or none, if HealthSpring is not listed in their county.
What is new or not returning for HealthSpring in Missouri for 2027?
HealthSpring has 1 new plan in Missouri for 2027: HealthSpring True Choice (PPO). This is the carrier's only PPO on the Missouri list for the year; the other four plans are HMOs, including the two D-SNPs.
The CMS data available for this article does not include a count of HealthSpring plans that are not returning in Missouri for 2027, so none is stated here. If you are currently enrolled in a HealthSpring plan, you should receive an Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) from the carrier before the Annual Enrollment Period describing any changes to your specific plan for 2027.
How do I check whether a HealthSpring plan is offered in my Missouri county and covers my doctors and prescriptions?
The most reliable way to confirm availability in your Missouri county for 2027 is the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov, where you enter your ZIP code and see every Medicare Advantage plan listed for that location. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Three checks are worth doing before you enroll in any Medicare Advantage plan:
1. County availability. Confirm the specific HealthSpring plan is offered in your Missouri county, not just statewide. 2. Providers. Check that your doctors, hospitals and other providers are in the plan's network by searching the plan's own provider directory or calling the carrier. 3. Prescriptions. Look up each of your medications in the plan's formulary (drug list), including the tier and any coverage rules such as prior authorization.
Plan details — premiums, deductibles, copays, benefits, networks, drug lists and star ratings — come from the Medicare Plan Finder, 1-800-MEDICARE, or the plan's own Evidence of Coverage and directories. This article does not list them.
What should I do before December 7, 2026, if I live in Missouri?
Mark the dates: the Annual Enrollment Period for 2027 Medicare coverage runs October 15 – December 7, 2026, and any choice you make during that window takes effect January 1, 2027. That is the main window each year to join, switch or drop a Medicare Advantage plan.
A simple checklist for Missouri residents:
- Read your current plan's Annual Notice of Change if you already have Medicare Advantage or a Part D plan, and note anything changing for 2027.
- Make a list of your current doctors, hospitals and prescriptions, including dosages.
- Use the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov to see every plan listed in your Missouri county for 2027, including HealthSpring's plans where offered.
- If a plan on this page interests you, confirm with the carrier that it is offered in your county and that your providers and medications are covered.
- Decide by December 7, 2026, so your coverage starts on time January 1, 2027.
If you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, you may also want to look at HealthSpring's two D-SNPs — HealthSpring TotalCare (HMO D-SNP) and HealthSpring TotalCare Plus (HMO D-SNP) — alongside D-SNPs from other carriers, where available in your county.
Where can I get free help understanding Medicare options in Missouri?
Two free, official resources are available to every Missouri resident with Medicare:
- Medicare.gov — the Medicare Plan Finder, enrollment tools and plan documents.
- 1-800-MEDICARE — live help 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including help enrolling.
Both are run by the federal Medicare program and do not sell insurance.
