What Medicare Advantage plans does Anthem offer in North Las Vegas for 2027?

Anthem is offering eight Medicare Advantage plans in Clark County, which includes North Las Vegas, for 2027. By plan type, that breaks down to three HMO plans and five HMO-POS plans. All eight include Part D prescription drug coverage.

The table on this page lists every Anthem plan by name and type. The lineup includes general-enrollment options such as Anthem Medicare Advantage and Anthem I CareMore Medicare Advantage, alongside a set of CareMore-branded Special Needs Plans.

Which Anthem plans in Clark County are Special Needs Plans?

Six of Anthem's eight 2027 plans in the county are Special Needs Plans (SNPs). SNPs are Medicare Advantage plans designed for people who meet specific eligibility rules.

Anthem's SNP mix for 2027 in Clark County includes:

• Two D-SNPs (Dual-eligible Special Needs Plans) for people with both Medicare and full Medicaid: Anthem Full Dual Advantage and Anthem Full Dual Advantage 2.
• Three C-SNPs (Chronic Condition Special Needs Plans) for people with qualifying chronic conditions: Anthem I CareMore Chronic Care, Anthem I CareMore Kidney Care and Anthem I CareMore Lung Care.
• One I-SNP (Institutional Special Needs Plan) for people who meet an institutional level-of-care rule: Anthem I CareMore Home Care.

To join an SNP, you have to qualify for that specific category. Medicare.gov's Plan Finder and 1-800-MEDICARE can confirm whether you are eligible.

What is new or not returning in Anthem's 2027 lineup for North Las Vegas?

Nothing is leaving and nothing is being added. For 2027 in Clark County, zero Anthem plans are not returning, zero are new, and zero have been renamed. The eight plans Anthem offered in the county this plan year are the same eight plans it is offering next plan year.

That does not mean nothing is changing inside those plans. Every Medicare Advantage plan sends members an Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) each fall that spells out what is different for the coming year — things like the premium, the deductible, copays, the drug formulary, the provider network and extra benefits. If you are already in an Anthem plan, read your ANOC carefully before December 7.

How do I check an Anthem plan against my doctors and prescriptions before December 7?

The most reliable check is the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov. You enter your ZIP code and your drug list, and the tool will show each plan's formulary, pharmacy options and estimated yearly drug costs for you specifically. For doctors and hospitals, use the plan's own online provider directory, or call the plan directly to confirm a specific clinician is in-network for 2027 — networks can change year to year even when the plan name does not.

A short checklist before you decide:

• List every prescription with dose and quantity, and run it through Plan Finder for each plan you are considering.
• Write down your doctors, specialists and preferred hospital; confirm each one on the 2027 directory.
• If you use a specific pharmacy, check whether it is a preferred or standard pharmacy on the plan.
• For HMO-POS plans, note how the plan handles out-of-network care, since rules vary.
• If you are considering an SNP, confirm you meet the eligibility category.

You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), which is open 24/7.

What else should I know about 2027 Medicare for North Las Vegas?

A few program-level facts apply no matter which carrier or plan you pick:

• The Part D out-of-pocket cap is $2,400 in 2027, up from $2,100 in 2026. Once your out-of-pocket spending on covered drugs hits that cap, you pay $0 for covered drugs for the rest of the year.
• The Part D maximum deductible is $700 in 2027, up from $615 in 2026. Plans can set a lower deductible; they cannot set a higher one.
• The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan lets you spread your drug costs across the year in monthly installments instead of paying at the pharmacy counter. It is optional, and you have to opt in with your plan.
• The 2027 Part B standard premium and deductible, and the 2027 IRMAA income brackets, have not been announced yet. CMS typically publishes those figures later in the fall. Watch medicare.gov for the official numbers.
• If you do nothing during Annual Enrollment, your current plan renews on January 1, 2027 with the changes described in its ANOC, as long as the plan is still offered.
• After Annual Enrollment, the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period runs January 1 – March 31, 2027, with limited switching rules for people already in a Medicare Advantage plan.
