Kaiser Permanente Medicare Advantage in Nevada for 2027: 4 Plans, County by County

CARSON CITY, Nev. — Kaiser Permanente will offer 4 Medicare Advantage plans in Nevada for the 2027 plan year, according to the CMS Medicare Advantage Landscape Source File. All four are HMOs, three include drug coverage, and one is a Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) for people who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. Because Medicare Advantage is sold county by county, a plan listed statewide may not be available where you live.

What is Kaiser Permanente offering across Nevada for 2027?

Kaiser Permanente is offering 4 Medicare Advantage plans in Nevada for 2027, all of them HMOs. Within that count, 1 plan is a D-SNP (for people with both Medicare and Medicaid), and there are no C-SNPs or I-SNPs on Kaiser Permanente's Nevada lineup for 2027. Three of the four plans include Part D prescription drug coverage, and one does not.

For context, the CMS Landscape file lists 11 other Medicare Advantage carriers operating somewhere in Nevada for 2027, and 98 Medicare Advantage plans across all carriers statewide. The full carrier and plan tables are rendered elsewhere on this page from the same CMS data.

Which Kaiser Permanente plans reach the most Nevada counties in 2027?

The widest county footprint on Kaiser Permanente's 2027 Nevada list belongs to KP Medicare Liberty H2960-009 (HMO), which is offered in 3 counties and does not include drug coverage. CMS notes it was renamed from Senior Care Plus Patriot Plan (HMO).

Two plans are offered in 2 counties each: KP Medicare Duals H2960-024 (HMO D-SNP), which includes drug coverage and was renamed from Senior Care Plus Extensive Duals Plan (HMO D-SNP); and KP Medicare Value H2960 028 (HMO), which includes drug coverage. One plan, KP Medicare Value CC H2960 029 (HMO), is offered in 1 county and includes drug coverage.

County reach is just a map count. It does not tell you anything about premiums, benefits, copays, provider networks, drug lists or star ratings, and it is not a ranking.

What is new or not returning from Kaiser Permanente in Nevada for 2027?

Two Kaiser Permanente plans are new for 2027 in Nevada: KP Medicare Value H2960 028 (HMO) and KP Medicare Value CC H2960 029 (HMO). Both are HMOs with drug coverage.

On the other side of the ledger, 5 Kaiser Permanente plans from 2026 are not returning for 2027. If you are enrolled in a Kaiser Permanente plan now, check the Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) that your plan mails each fall. The ANOC will say whether your specific plan is continuing, being renamed, consolidated, or discontinued for 2027, and it will explain your options. The renamed plans listed above — KP Medicare Liberty H2960-009 and KP Medicare Duals H2960-024 — carry new names but are tracked by CMS as continuing contracts.

How do I check whether a Kaiser Permanente plan is offered in my Nevada county and covers my doctors and drugs?

Use the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov, where you can enter your ZIP code and see every Medicare Advantage plan available in your specific Nevada county for 2027, including which Kaiser Permanente plans appear on your local list. A plan listed on the statewide Kaiser Permanente lineup may not be sold in your county.

Three practical steps: 1. On medicare.gov, enter your ZIP code and add your prescriptions and preferred pharmacy. The Plan Finder will show each plan's drug list and estimated costs. 2. For doctors and hospitals, check the plan's own provider directory, or call the plan using the number on the Kaiser Permanente Medicare materials, and ask whether your specific providers are in-network for the 2027 plan you are considering. 3. Read the plan's Evidence of Coverage (EOC) for the full rules on referrals, prior authorization, and out-of-network care.

For personal help with any of this, 1-800-MEDICARE is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What should Nevadans do before December 7, 2026?

The Annual Enrollment Period for Medicare Advantage and Part D runs October 15 – December 7, 2026, and any choice you make during that window takes effect January 1, 2027. There is no need to rush — you simply want your decision on file by December 7, 2026.

A simple checklist for Annual Enrollment 2027:

• Read your current plan's ANOC and compare it to what you want for 2027.
• If you take prescriptions, enter them in the Plan Finder so the drug list is part of the comparison.
• Confirm that the plans you are considering are offered in your Nevada county.
• Confirm that your doctors, specialists and preferred hospital are in-network for the specific 2027 plan.
• Save your confirmation number after enrolling.

If you later want to switch Medicare Advantage plans or return to Original Medicare, the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period runs January 1 – March 31, 2027, with separate rules.

Where can Nevadans get free Medicare help?

The two free, official sources are medicare.gov and 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048). Both can confirm which plans — Kaiser Permanente or any of the other 11 carriers in Nevada for 2027 — are available in your county, and both can help you enroll.

You can also contact Kaiser Permanente directly using the phone number on the plan's materials to ask plan-specific questions about networks, prior authorization, and the drug formulary.
