Anthem's 2027 Medicare Advantage lineup in Henderson: all 8 plans, plan by plan

HENDERSON, Nev. — As the Annual Enrollment Period opens on Oct. 15, 2026, Anthem is bringing eight Medicare Advantage plans to Clark County for the 2027 plan year, and six of them are built for people with specific health or financial situations. This piece walks through what Anthem is offering locally, how to read the lineup, and how to check any plan against your own doctors and prescriptions before the Dec. 7, 2026 deadline.

MyMedicarePlans.org is an independent consumer site. We are not Anthem, and we are not Medicare. Anthem is one of 10 carriers offering Medicare Advantage plans in Clark County for 2027; together those carriers offer 72 plans.

What Medicare Advantage plans does Anthem offer in Henderson for 2027?

Anthem offers 8 Medicare Advantage plans in Clark County — the county Henderson sits in — for the 2027 plan year, according to the CMS Medicare Advantage Landscape Source File. All eight include prescription drug coverage. By plan type, 3 are HMOs and 5 are HMO-POS plans.

The table below lists every Anthem plan available locally for 2027, in alphabetical order, with its plan type and whether it includes drug coverage. CMS groups Anthem under its parent, Elevance Health (Anthem).

Which of Anthem's Clark County plans are Special Needs Plans?

Six of Anthem's 8 plans in Clark County for 2027 are Special Needs Plans (SNPs), which are limited to people who meet specific eligibility rules. Anthem's SNP mix locally is 2 D-SNPs, 3 C-SNPs and 1 I-SNP.

Here is what those categories mean:

• D-SNP (Dual-Eligible): for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid. Anthem's local D-SNPs are Anthem Full Dual Advantage (HMO D-SNP) and Anthem Full Dual Advantage 2 (HMO D-SNP).
• C-SNP (Chronic Condition): for people with a qualifying chronic illness. Anthem's local C-SNPs are Anthem I CareMore Chronic Care (HMO-POS C-SNP), Anthem I CareMore Kidney Care (HMO-POS C-SNP) and Anthem I CareMore Lung Care (HMO-POS C-SNP).
• I-SNP (Institutional): for people who live in, or need the level of care provided in, a long-term care facility. Anthem's local I-SNP is Anthem I CareMore Home Care (HMO I-SNP).

The two plans that are not SNPs — Anthem I CareMore Medicare Advantage (HMO-POS) and Anthem Medicare Advantage (HMO-POS) — are open to anyone with Medicare Parts A and B who lives in the service area.

What is new or not returning from Anthem in Clark County for 2027?

Nothing on Anthem's local lineup is leaving and nothing is brand-new: Anthem is not retiring any plans and is not adding any new ones in Clark County for 2027, per the CMS Landscape files for the current and coming plan years.

That does not mean the plans themselves are unchanged. Costs, drug lists (formularies), provider networks and extra benefits can shift year to year even when a plan name stays the same. Anthem mails each current member an Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) each September spelling out exactly what is different for 2027 — that is the document to compare side by side with this year's.

How do I check an Anthem plan against my doctors and prescriptions?

Before Dec. 7, 2026, check any plan you are considering against three things: your doctors, your pharmacies and your prescriptions. The quickest way is the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov.

A simple checklist:

1. Make a list. Write down every prescription (name, dose, how often), your preferred pharmacies, and the doctors and hospitals you want to keep. 2. Use the Plan Finder. Go to medicare.gov/plan-compare, enter your ZIP code and your drugs, and filter for Anthem (or any carrier). The tool will estimate your yearly drug costs under each plan. 3. Confirm the network. Click into a plan's details, then check Anthem's own provider directory for your doctors and hospitals. Networks can change on Jan. 1. 4. Call to double-check. You can call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), 24/7, or call Anthem directly using the number on the plan page. Ask whether your specific doctor and your specific drug (at the dose you take) are in-network and on the formulary for 2027. 5. Read the Evidence of Coverage (EOC) if you want the full rulebook for a plan — it is the binding document.

If you qualify for a Special Needs Plan, confirm the eligibility rule before you enroll. For D-SNPs, your Medicaid status matters; for C-SNPs, you typically need a provider to verify the qualifying condition; for I-SNPs, a level-of-care assessment usually applies.

What are the important Medicare dates and figures for 2027?

The Annual Enrollment Period runs Oct. 15 – Dec. 7, 2026. Any Medicare Advantage or Part D change you make in that window takes effect Jan. 1, 2027. If you do nothing, your current plan renews for 2027 with whatever changes are listed in the ANOC.

A few program-level numbers to anchor your planning:

• Part D out-of-pocket cap: $2,400 in 2027 (up from $2,100 in 2026).
• Part D maximum deductible: $700 in 2027 (up from $615 in 2026).
• Part D national base beneficiary premium: $41.33 for 2027. This is a formula input CMS uses — it is not what any specific plan charges.
• 2027 Part B premium, deductible and IRMAA brackets: not yet announced. CMS typically publishes these in the fall, usually in November. Don't rely on projections.
• Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period: Jan. 1 – March 31, 2027, during which someone already in a Medicare Advantage plan can switch to another MA plan or back to Original Medicare once.
