How many Humana Medicare Advantage plans are offered in Kansas City for 2027?
Kansas City is in Jackson County, where Humana is offering 17 Medicare Advantage plans for 2027. By type, that is 1 HMO, 5 HMO-POS, 9 PPO and 2 PFFS plans. All 17 include Part D prescription drug coverage, and 2 are Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid.
The table below lists every Humana plan available in the county for next year. Humana is one of 7 carriers selling Medicare Advantage in Jackson County in 2027; across all carriers, there are 65 plans in the county.
What is new or not returning from Humana in Jackson County for 2027?
Nothing is leaving and nothing brand new is being added — Humana's 2027 slate in Jackson County shows 0 plans not returning and 0 new plans. What has changed is naming: 7 plans are being renamed for 2027.
Renamed plans include Humana Essentials Plus Giveback (PPO) (two offerings, each previously carrying an H-number suffix), Humana Total Complete (HMO-POS), both Humana Total Complete Giveback (HMO-POS) offerings, and two Humana Value Choice (PPO) offerings. A rename does not automatically mean the benefits are identical to last year's plan — the Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) your plan mails each fall is where you confirm what, if anything, is different for 2027.
How do I check a Humana plan against my doctors and prescriptions before December 7?
Use the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov, which lets you enter your ZIP code, your prescriptions and your preferred pharmacy, then compare any 2027 plan side by side. For doctors and hospitals, check the plan's online provider directory or call the number on the plan materials to confirm each provider is in-network for 2027 — networks can change from year to year even when a plan keeps its name.
A short checklist that helps most people:
- Read your current plan's ANOC for 2027 changes to premium, deductible, copays, drug tier placement and network.
- List every prescription with dose and frequency, then run it through Plan Finder for each plan you are considering.
- Confirm each of your doctors, specialists and your preferred hospital are in the 2027 network.
- If you take high-cost drugs, note that the Part D out-of-pocket cap is $2,400 in 2027, up from $2,100 in 2026, and the Part D maximum deductible is $700 in 2027, up from $615 in 2026.

What are the Medicare enrollment dates for 2027 coverage?
The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7, 2026, and any change you make takes effect January 1, 2027. If you do nothing, your current plan renews for 2027 as long as it is still offered, with whatever changes the ANOC describes.
There is also a Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period from January 1 to March 31, 2027. During that window, people already in a Medicare Advantage plan can switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan or go back to Original Medicare one time.
What about the 2027 Part B premium and IRMAA?
CMS has not yet announced the 2027 Part B standard premium or deductible, or the 2027 IRMAA income brackets. Those figures are typically published in the fall, usually in November. Until then, treat any specific 2027 Part B number you see as a projection, not an official figure.
For 2026, IRMAA surcharges begin above $109,000 in income for a single filer. The 2027 thresholds will be released alongside the Part B premium.
