Which Wellcare Medicare Advantage plans are offered in Henderson for 2027?
In Clark County — the county Henderson is in — Wellcare offers two Medicare Advantage plans for 2027. Both are HMO-POS plans, both are Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNP) for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid, and both include Part D drug coverage. The table on this page lists every Wellcare plan available in the county next year, by name and type.
For reference, the two plans are:
- Wellcare SilverSummit Healthplan Dual Access (HMO-POS D-SNP) — new for 2027
- Wellcare SilverSummit Healthplan Dual Liberty (HMO-POS D-SNP) — renamed (was Wellcare Dual Access (HMO-POS D-SNP) in 2026)
We cannot share premiums, copays, networks, drug lists or star ratings here; those are plan-specific details you can look up on medicare.gov.
What is new, renamed or not returning from Wellcare in Clark County for 2027?
Wellcare's Clark County lineup has three year-over-year changes. One plan is new for 2027: Wellcare SilverSummit Healthplan Dual Access (HMO-POS D-SNP). One plan is renamed — Wellcare SilverSummit Healthplan Dual Liberty (HMO-POS D-SNP) was Wellcare Dual Access (HMO-POS D-SNP) in 2026. And two of Wellcare's 2026 Clark County plans are not returning for 2027.
If your current Wellcare plan is one of the two not returning, Wellcare will send you a non-renewal notice explaining your options and the special enrollment rights that follow. If your plan is renewing — including the renamed Dual Liberty plan — look for the Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) that arrives by late September. The ANOC compares your current benefits with next year's.
What are Special Needs Plans, and who can join Wellcare's D-SNPs in Henderson?
A Special Needs Plan (SNP) is a type of Medicare Advantage plan built for a specific group. Both of Wellcare's 2027 Henderson-area plans are D-SNPs, which are for people enrolled in both Medicare and Nevada Medicaid. Wellcare is not offering a Chronic-Condition SNP (C-SNP) or Institutional SNP (I-SNP) in Clark County for 2027.
If you are not dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, a D-SNP will not be the right fit — but the nine other carriers in the county offer a mix of general HMO, PPO and other plan types. Altogether, 72 Medicare Advantage plans are available in Clark County for 2027.
How do I check a Wellcare plan against my doctors and prescriptions before December 7?
Use the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov. Enter your ZIP code, add every prescription you take with the dose and quantity, and add your pharmacy. The tool will show which plans cover your drugs, which tier each drug falls on, and what the plan's pharmacy network looks like. For doctors and hospitals, open the plan's provider directory — linked from the plan's page on medicare.gov — and search for each clinician by name.
A few tips:
- Check both your primary care doctor and any specialists you see regularly.
- Confirm the hospital you would use is in network.
- If you take a brand-name drug, check whether the plan requires prior authorization or step therapy.
- If you prefer to talk to a person, 1-800-MEDICARE is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Your decision window is October 15 through December 7, 2026. Coverage you pick in that window begins January 1, 2027.
What Part D figures should I know for 2027?
CMS has confirmed three Part D program figures for 2027. The out-of-pocket cap on covered Part D drugs is $2,400 in 2027, up from $2,100 in 2026. The maximum Part D deductible a plan can charge is $700 in 2027, up from $615 in 2026. And the national base beneficiary premium — a formula input, not what any specific plan charges — is $41.33 for 2027.
The 2027 Part B standard premium and deductible, and the 2027 IRMAA income brackets, have not been announced yet. CMS typically publishes those in the fall, usually November. Any number you see quoted now for those is an estimate, not official.

Medicare Part B premium, 2006–2026
