Fall 2026 — If you have a Medicare Advantage plan in Omaha, the lineup you'll choose from for 2027 looks different than it did this year. In Douglas County, where Omaha sits, 17 plans are leaving after Dec. 31, 2026, 11 new plans are joining for 2027, two carriers are pulling out, and one new carrier is coming in. The Annual Enrollment Period runs Oct. 15 through Dec. 7, 2026, and any choice you make in that window takes effect Jan. 1, 2027.
What's happening in Omaha this fall
Omaha is in Douglas County, where Medicare Advantage availability is set. For plan year 2026, the county has 45 Medicare Advantage plans from 9 carriers — 8 HMOs, 10 HMO-POS plans and 27 PPOs, including 16 Special Needs Plans. All 45 include Part D drug coverage.
For 2027, the mix is shifting. Some plans are leaving, some are new, a handful are being renamed, and some are changing details like premium, deductible, type or name. The full list of plans available for 2027 appears in the table below.
Carriers leaving, and a new one arriving
Two carriers that offer Medicare Advantage in Douglas County this year will not be here for 2027:
- Medica
- Molina Healthcare of Illinois
One carrier is new to the county next year:
- Molina Healthcare of Nebraska
If you are enrolled in a plan from Medica, or in the Molina Medicare Complete Care (HMO D-SNP) offered by Molina Healthcare of Illinois, your plan is not being renewed for 2027. (A separate Molina Medicare Complete Care (HMO D-SNP) offered by Molina Healthcare of Nebraska is listed as new for 2027 — it is a different contract and will have its own paperwork, network and benefits.)
Plans not returning for 2027
Seventeen plans sold in Douglas County in 2026 will not be offered for 2027, in alphabetical order by carrier:
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska MA Access (PPO)
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska MA Core (HMO)
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska MA Secure (PPO)
- Wellcare Assist Open (PPO)
- Wellcare Dual Access Sync Open (PPO D-SNP)
- Wellcare Patriot Giveback Open (PPO)
- Wellcare Simple Open (PPO)
- Great Plains Medicare Advantage (HMO I-SNP)
- Great Plains Medicare Advantage Gold (HMO I-SNP)
- Humana Full Access H5216-411 (PPO)
- Medica Advantage Preferred (PPO)
- Medica Advantage Select (PPO)
- Medica Advantage Solution H8889-009 (PPO)
- Medica Advantage Value (PPO)
- Molina Medicare Complete Care (HMO D-SNP) — Molina Healthcare of Illinois
- UHC Dual Complete NE-S001 (HMO-POS D-SNP)
- UHC Dual Complete NE-V001 (HMO-POS D-SNP)
(The two Great Plains I-SNPs appear on both the leaving list and the new list because the contract is being refiled; CMS treats that as a non-renewal plus a new plan. If you are in one of those plans, read your mail carefully.)
If your plan is on this list, your carrier is required to send you a non-renewal notice. You get a Special Enrollment Period from Dec. 8, 2026 through Feb. 28, 2027 to join a different Medicare Advantage plan or move back to Original Medicare and pick up a stand-alone Part D plan. You can also act during Annual Enrollment, Oct. 15 – Dec. 7, 2026.
Plans new for 2027
Eleven plans are being added in Douglas County for 2027:
- Aetna Medicare Enhanced Extra (PPO)
- Aetna Medicare Signature (PPO)
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska MA Assure (HMO-POS)
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska MA Protect (PPO)
- DEVOTED C-SNP CHOICE GIVEBACK EXTRAS 010 NE (PPO C-SNP)
- DEVOTED CHOICE GIVEBACK EXTRAS 011 NE (PPO)
- Great Plains Medicare Advantage (HMO I-SNP)
- Great Plains Medicare Advantage Gold (HMO I-SNP)
- Molina Medicare Complete Care (HMO D-SNP) — Molina Healthcare of Nebraska
- AARP Medicare Advantage Patriot No Rx NE-MA2 (HMO-POS)
- UHC Dual Complete NE-QV1 (HMO-POS D-SNP)
A few things worth noticing in that list. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska is dropping three plans and adding two with different plan types (an HMO-POS and a PPO). Devoted Health is adding both a chronic-condition SNP and a general PPO. The new UnitedHealthcare HMO-POS replaces the "No Rx" PPO of the same brand family, so the plan type and drug-coverage status may be different from what you had — that is a change worth reading closely.
Renames and other changes
Five plans are keeping their contract but changing names for 2027. If you see a different name on your mail, this may be why:
- Aetna Medicare Enhanced Classic Extra (PPO) — new name of Aetna Medicare Enhanced Extra (PPO)
- Aetna Medicare Signature Classic (PPO) — new name of Aetna Medicare Signature Extra (PPO)
- Aetna Medicare Signature Classic Extra (PPO) — new name of Aetna Medicare Signature (PPO)
- Wellcare Nebraska Total Care Dual Liberty Sync (HMO-POS D-SNP) — new name of Wellcare Dual Liberty Sync (HMO-POS D-SNP)
- DEVOTED C-SNP CHOICE ENHANCED 009 NE (PPO C-SNP) — new name of DEVOTED C-SNP CHOICE PREMIUM 009 NE (PPO C-SNP)
Separately, 7 continuing plans are changing on premium, deductible, type or name in some way. Your Annual Notice of Change, which should arrive by late September, spells out exactly what is different about your plan next year.
The 2026 lineup, for context
The table below lists every Medicare Advantage plan in the county. For a feel of the shape of the market, the 2026 carrier roster is:
- Aetna (CVS Health): 6 plans
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska: 4 plans
- Centene (WellCare): 7 plans
- Devoted Health: 6 plans
- Great Plains Medicare Advantage: 2 plans
- Humana: 7 plans
- Medica: 4 plans
- Molina Healthcare of Illinois: 1 plan
- UnitedHealthcare: 8 plans
Add up the changes above and you can see the general direction for 2027: Medica's four plans and Molina (Illinois)'s one plan come off the board, Blue Cross trims three and adds two, Centene drops its four "Open" PPOs, and Aetna, Devoted, UnitedHealthcare and the new Molina Healthcare of Nebraska add plans of their own.
Dates and dollars to keep in mind
- Annual Enrollment Period: Oct. 15 – Dec. 7, 2026. Choices take effect Jan. 1, 2027.
- Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment: Jan. 1 – March 31, 2027, if you want to switch Advantage plans or go back to Original Medicare.
- Special Enrollment Period for a non-renewed plan: Dec. 8, 2026 – Feb. 28, 2027.
- Part D out-of-pocket cap: $2,100 in 2026, rising to $2,400 in 2027.
