14 New Medicare Advantage Plans in Nevada for 2027: The List

CARSON CITY — Nevada's 2027 Medicare Advantage menu includes 14 plans that were not offered in 2026, according to the CMS Medicare Advantage Landscape Source Files for the current and coming plan years. The 14 new plans are part of a statewide total of 98 Medicare Advantage plans for 2027, and they come from seven different carriers. A plan listed as "new statewide" may still not be sold in every Nevada county, because Medicare Advantage availability is set county by county.

How many Medicare Advantage plans are new in Nevada for 2027, and which carriers offer them?

Fourteen of the 98 Medicare Advantage plans offered in Nevada for 2027 are new, meaning they were not offered for 2026. Seven carriers are introducing them: Aetna (CVS Health) with 1 new plan, Humana with 2, Kaiser Permanente with 2, Prominence Health Plan with 2, SCAN Health Plan with 1, Select Health with 1, and UnitedHealthcare with 5.

The full list of 14 new plans — with carrier, plan type, drug-coverage status, and county reach — is shown in the table on this page. Each plan is counted once statewide; the county count tells you how broadly it is being offered across Nevada, not whether it reaches your specific county.

Which new Nevada Medicare Advantage plans for 2027 cover the most counties?

Among the 14 new plans in Nevada for 2027, two UnitedHealthcare plans — UHC Dual Complete NV-Q4 (PPO D-SNP) and UHC Dual Complete NV-S7 (PPO D-SNP) — are each listed as being offered in 11 counties, the widest reach on the new-plan list. Aetna Medicare Full Dual (HMO D-SNP) from Aetna (CVS Health) is offered in 8 counties, and Prominence Silver Peak (HMO) from Prominence Health Plan is offered in 5 counties.

Other new plans have narrower footprints. UHC Dual Complete NV-Q3 and UHC Dual Complete NV-S6 (both PPO D-SNPs) are each offered in 3 counties. Humana's Gold Plus - Diabetes and Heart (HMO C-SNP) and Humana Gold Plus H1036-344 (HMO), Kaiser Permanente's KP Medicare Value H2960 028 (HMO), SCAN Costco Medicare Advantage (HMO), Select Health Medicare Veterans (HMO, without drug coverage), and AARP Medicare Advantage Patriot No Rx NV-MA2 (HMO-POS, without drug coverage) are each in 2 counties. KP Medicare Value CC H2960 029 (HMO) and Prominence Meridian (HMO-POS) are each in 1 county. The on-page table shows every plan and its county count.

What does it mean that a Medicare Advantage plan in Nevada is "new" for 2027?

A plan that is new for 2027 has no Medicare Star Rating yet and no multi-year track record in Nevada. CMS Star Ratings are built from data collected over prior plan years, and a plan that did not exist in 2026 has not generated that data. This is a fact about timing, not a judgment about quality.

For readers comparing plans, that simply means a new plan cannot be evaluated by its historical star performance the way a long-running plan can. The plan's own Evidence of Coverage, Summary of Benefits, and provider and drug directories are the documents that describe how it actually works.

How do I check whether a new 2027 Medicare Advantage plan is offered in my Nevada county and covers my doctors and prescriptions?

The fastest check is the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov, which filters plans by ZIP code and county and shows exactly which 2027 plans are available where you live. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE, which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Because a plan listed as "new statewide" in Nevada may be offered in as few as 1 county or as many as 11, your county is what determines whether a specific plan on the list above is actually an option for you. For doctors and hospitals, check the plan's own provider directory or call the plan directly to confirm your providers are in network for 2027. For prescriptions, enter your drug list into the Plan Finder or review the plan's formulary; both drug cost and whether a drug is covered can differ from plan to plan. Several new plans — Select Health Medicare Veterans (HMO) and AARP Medicare Advantage Patriot No Rx NV-MA2 (HMO-POS) — are listed without drug coverage, which matters if you rely on Part D through your Medicare Advantage plan.

What should Nevada Medicare beneficiaries do before December 7, 2026?

Before December 7, 2026, Nevada beneficiaries can use the Annual Enrollment Period to compare 2027 plans and, if they choose, switch plans; any change made during that window takes effect January 1, 2027. The window opens October 15, 2026.

A practical sequence: list your current doctors, hospitals and prescriptions; look up your current plan's 2027 Annual Notice of Change to see what is changing; then run your ZIP code through the Plan Finder at medicare.gov to see every 2027 option in your county, including any of the 14 new plans that reach you. If nothing better fits, you can stay in your current plan without taking any action.

Where can Nevada residents get free help comparing 2027 Medicare Advantage plans?

Free, official help for Nevada residents comes from Medicare itself. The Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov lets you compare every 2027 plan available in your county side by side, and 1-800-MEDICARE answers questions by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Those tools are the authoritative source for current plan details, including premiums, deductibles, copays, networks, formularies and star ratings — the specifics this article intentionally does not quote, because they can change and should be confirmed at the source before you enroll.
