What Wellcare Medicare Advantage plans are offered in Las Vegas for 2027?
For 2027, Wellcare offers 2 Medicare Advantage plans in Clark County, which is the county Las Vegas sits in. Both are HMO-POS plans with drug coverage, and both are Special Needs Plans for people who also qualify for Medicaid (D-SNPs).
The two Wellcare plans for 2027 are Wellcare SilverSummit Healthplan Dual Access (HMO-POS D-SNP) and Wellcare SilverSummit Healthplan Dual Liberty (HMO-POS D-SNP). The full table on this page lists them exactly as CMS lists them. We can't publish premiums, copays, drug lists or provider networks for either plan — that information lives in each plan's own documents and on the Medicare Plan Finder.
What is new, renamed or not returning from Wellcare for 2027?
Compared with 2026, one Wellcare plan is new in Clark County for 2027, one has been renamed, and two 2026 Wellcare plans are not being offered in 2027.
The new plan for next year is Wellcare SilverSummit Healthplan Dual Access (HMO-POS D-SNP). Wellcare SilverSummit Healthplan Dual Liberty (HMO-POS D-SNP) is a renamed version of a 2026 plan (previously Wellcare Dual Access (HMO-POS D-SNP)). The specifics of what changed — benefits, cost sharing, network — are spelled out in each plan's Annual Notice of Change (ANOC), which current members should have received by late September.
If you are currently in a Wellcare plan that isn't on the 2027 list, you have a Special Enrollment Period to choose a different plan. Call 1-800-MEDICARE to confirm your options and timing.
Does Wellcare offer Special Needs Plans or drug coverage in Clark County for 2027?
Yes. Both Wellcare Medicare Advantage plans in Clark County for 2027 are Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs), and both include Part D prescription drug coverage.
D-SNPs are built for people who have both Medicare and full or partial Medicaid. Wellcare is not offering a Chronic Condition SNP (C-SNP) or an Institutional SNP (I-SNP) in Clark County for 2027. If you don't qualify for Medicaid, a D-SNP is not an option for you, and you'd look at the broader Medicare Advantage market in the county — 10 carriers in total, offering 72 plans combined for 2027.
How can I check a Wellcare plan against my doctors and prescriptions before December 7?
The fastest way is the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov. Enter your ZIP code, add the names of the prescriptions you take and the pharmacies you use, and the tool will show how each plan handles them.
A few steps that save time:
- Pull your drug list first. Include dosage and how often you fill. Even one missing drug can change the picture.
- List the doctors and facilities you want to keep. Then check each plan's provider directory on the carrier's website, or call the plan directly to confirm the provider is in-network for 2027 (networks are set for the plan year).
- Read your ANOC if you're already a member. It compares your current plan year to next year, line by line.
- Call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048) for one-on-one help, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The deadline to make a change for January 1, 2027 coverage is December 7, 2026. If you do nothing and your current plan is being offered again, you stay in it with the changes described in the ANOC.
What are the Medicare dates and dollar figures to know for 2027?
The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7, 2026, and changes take effect January 1, 2027. The Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period then runs January 1 through March 31, 2027, when people already in a Medicare Advantage plan can switch once.
CMS has confirmed several Part D figures for 2027:
- 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 for 2027: $41.33 (a formula input, not what any specific plan charges).
The 2027 Part B standard premium and deductible, and the 2027 IRMAA income brackets, have not yet been announced. CMS typically publishes those figures later in the fall, usually in November.
