For plan year 2026, Omaha residents live in Douglas County, where the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) shows 45 Medicare Advantage plans available from 9 carriers. Every one of those 45 plans includes prescription drug coverage. The full lineup — each plan, its carrier, its plan type, and whether it covers drugs — is in the table below.
What Omaha's 2027 lineup looks like
The 45 plans in Douglas County break down by network type this way: 8 HMO, 10 HMO-POS, and 27 PPO. Sixteen of them are Special Needs Plans, which are designed for people who qualify based on a specific situation — for example, having both Medicare and Medicaid (D-SNP), living with a qualifying chronic condition (C-SNP), or living in an institution like a nursing home (I-SNP).
Because every plan on the local roster is an MA-PD, drug coverage is bundled in. That's why CMS lists 0 stand-alone Part D plans as needed for this market — you don't add a separate Part D plan on top of a Medicare Advantage plan that already includes it.
The nine carriers offering plans in Douglas County
Here is how the 45 plans are split across the 9 carriers, in alphabetical order:
- Aetna (CVS Health): 6 plans (HMO, HMO-POS, PPO; 1 Special Needs)
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska: 4 plans (HMO, PPO)
- Centene (WellCare): 7 plans (HMO-POS, PPO; 2 Special Needs)
- Devoted Health: 6 plans (PPO; 4 Special Needs)
- Great Plains Medicare Advantage: 2 plans (HMO; 2 Special Needs)
- Humana: 7 plans (HMO, PPO; 2 Special Needs)
- Medica: 4 plans (PPO)
- Molina Healthcare of Illinois: 1 plan (HMO; 1 Special Needs)
- UnitedHealthcare: 8 plans (HMO-POS, PPO; 4 Special Needs)
The table below lists every plan by carrier, along with its plan type and drug-coverage status. Details like premiums, deductibles, copays, provider networks and star ratings change each year and are best looked up on medicare.gov or in each plan's own documents.
How to read the plan types
You'll see three network labels on the Omaha list:
- HMO (Health Maintenance Organization): You generally use in-network doctors and hospitals and often need a referral to see specialists.
- HMO-POS (Point of Service): Similar to an HMO, but with limited coverage for some out-of-network services.
- PPO (Preferred Provider Organization): You can typically see out-of-network providers, usually at a higher cost.
A plan can also carry an SNP tag — D-SNP, C-SNP, or I-SNP — which means it's limited to people who meet that plan's eligibility rules. If you're not sure whether you qualify for an SNP, your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) counselor can help you check.
A few 2027 program facts worth knowing
These apply nationwide, not just in Omaha, but they can shape which plan features matter to you:
- Part D has a new out-of-pocket cap of $2,100 for 2026.
- The Part D maximum deductible is $615 in 2026 ($700 in 2027).
- The old "donut hole" is gone as of 2025; Part D now has three phases.
- The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan lets you spread your drug costs over the calendar year in monthly amounts, if you choose to opt in.
- IRMAA (income-related surcharges) starts above $109,000 in income for a single filer in 2026.
When you can make changes
- Annual Enrollment Period: October 15 – December 7. You can join, switch, or drop a Medicare Advantage or Part D plan for coverage that starts January 1.
- Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period: January 1 – March 31. If you're already in a Medicare Advantage plan, you can switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan or return to Original Medicare (and add a Part D plan) once during this window.
Special Enrollment Periods can also apply if you move, lose other coverage, or qualify for Medicaid or Extra Help.
