Medicare AdvantageHenderson, NV

Henderson, Nev. — As the fall enrollment window opens, Medicare Advantage members in Henderson are getting mail that can be easy to misread. Some plans sold in Clark County this year will not be back in 2027, a handful of new plans are coming in, and more than a dozen are being renamed. If your plan is among them, the letter in your mailbox — the Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) — is the document that spells out what is happening to your coverage.

Henderson is in Clark County, and Medicare Advantage availability is set at the county level. Here is what the CMS Landscape files show for the county from 2026 to 2027, and what a member should do next.

What is changing in Clark County for 2027

CMS's year-over-year comparison shows a mix of exits, arrivals and name changes for the county that includes Henderson:

• 11 plans leaving after 2026
• 9 plans new for 2027
• 15 plans renamed (same plan, new name)
• 18 plans changing on premium, deductible, plan type or name (the ANOC has the specifics)
• 48 plans continuing without one of those changes

Two carriers are stepping out of the local Medicare Advantage market: Kaiser Permanente and Molina Healthcare of Nevada. If you are enrolled with either one, your plan will not be there next year, and you will need to make a choice.

Plans that are leaving after 2026

If you are in one of the plans below, your coverage ends Dec. 31, 2026. You will get a "non-renewal" notice from your plan, and Original Medicare picks you up on Jan. 1 unless you enroll in something else.

• Aetna Medicare Signature (HMO) — Aetna (CVS Health)
• Wellcare Simple (HMO-POS) — Centene (WellCare)
• Wellcare Specialty Simple (HMO-POS C-SNP) — Centene (WellCare)
• Champion Select (HMO-POS C-SNP) — Champion Health Plan
• Senior Care Plus Complete Plan (HMO) — Kaiser Permanente
• Senior Care Plus Enriched Duals Plan (HMO D-SNP) — Kaiser Permanente
• Molina Medicare Complete Care (HMO D-SNP) — Molina Healthcare of Nevada
• SCAN MyChoice (HMO) — SCAN Health Plan
• Select Health Medicare Dual (HMO D-SNP) — Select Health
• AARP Medicare Advantage from UHC NV-0002 (HMO-POS) — UnitedHealthcare
• UHC Complete Care Support NV-11 (HMO-POS C-SNP) — UnitedHealthcare

Plans that are new for 2027

These plans are being added to the Clark County lineup for the coming year:

• Aetna Medicare Full Dual (HMO D-SNP) — Aetna (CVS Health)
• Wellcare SilverSummit Healthplan Dual Access (HMO-POS D-SNP) — Centene (WellCare)
• Humana Gold Plus - Diabetes and Heart (HMO C-SNP) — Humana
• Humana Gold Plus H1036-344 (HMO) — Humana
• SCAN Costco Medicare Advantage (HMO) — SCAN Health Plan
• Select Health Medicare Veterans (HMO) — Select Health
• AARP Medicare Advantage Patriot No Rx NV-MA2 (HMO-POS) — UnitedHealthcare
• UHC Dual Complete NV-Q3 (PPO D-SNP) — UnitedHealthcare
• UHC Dual Complete NV-S6 (PPO D-SNP) — UnitedHealthcare

Renamed plans — same plan, new name

Fifteen plans are keeping their footprint but showing up under a new name. This one trips people up: if you don't recognize the plan name on your ANOC or your new ID card, check whether it's a rename before you assume you've been moved. A few examples: the plan formerly called Aetna Medicare Dual Prime (HMO D-SNP) is now Aetna Medicare Partial Dual (HMO D-SNP); Wellcare Dual Access (HMO-POS D-SNP) is now Wellcare SilverSummit Healthplan Dual Liberty (HMO-POS D-SNP); and UHC Dual Complete NV-S001 (HMO-POS D-SNP) is now UHC Dual Complete NV-Q1 (HMO-POS D-SNP). The full list of renames is in the table below.

Several Alignment Health plans and other Aetna plans have also been renamed. The plan itself continues; only the label changed.

What a member should do about it

Take these steps in order.

1. Open the ANOC. Every Medicare Advantage plan mails an Annual Notice of Change by late September. It tells you exactly what is changing — including the premium, deductible, plan type or plan name — for 2027. If your plan appears in the "changing" bucket, the ANOC is where you find out what changed. 2. If your plan is leaving, act during the SEP. When a plan is not renewed, CMS gives affected members a Special Enrollment Period that runs from Dec. 8 through the end of February. You can pick a new Medicare Advantage plan or return to Original Medicare (and add a stand-alone Part D plan) during that window. 3. If you want to switch by choice, use AEP. The Annual Enrollment Period is Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. Any change you make there takes effect Jan. 1, 2027. 4. Still not sure after Jan. 1? The Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period runs Jan. 1 through March 31. If you are already in a Medicare Advantage plan, you can switch to another one or drop back to Original Medicare once during that period.

Before you pick, check three things on any plan you're considering: your doctors and hospitals are in-network, your prescriptions are on the drug list, and any specialty care you use is covered the way you need. The full 2027 lineup for Clark County — 57 Medicare Advantage plans from 10 carriers — is in the table below.

A few 2027 program facts worth knowing

These apply no matter which plan you land on:

• Part D has a hard out-of-pocket cap of $2,100 in 2026 and $2,400 in 2027. Once you hit it, you pay nothing for covered drugs the rest of the year.
• The Part D deductible cannot be more than $615 in 2026 ($700 in 2027).
• The old "donut hole" is gone as of 2025. Part D now has three phases instead of four.
• The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan lets you spread drug costs across monthly bills instead of paying at the pharmacy counter. It is optional.
• IRMAA (the higher-income surcharge on Part B and Part D) starts above $109,000 in income for a single filer in 2026.
