Wellcare's Medicare Advantage plans in North Las Vegas for 2027: what's new, what's gone

North Las Vegas, Nev. — Fall 2026. If you have a Wellcare Medicare Advantage plan in North Las Vegas, or you're thinking about one for next year, this is the moment to look closely. Wellcare's 2027 lineup in Clark County looks different from its 2026 lineup: one plan is new, one has been renamed, and two will not be back. The Annual Enrollment Period for 2027 coverage runs October 15 through December 7, 2026, and any change you make takes effect January 1, 2027.

MyMedicarePlans.org is an independent consumer site. We are not Wellcare, and Wellcare is one of 10 carriers offering Medicare Advantage plans in Clark County for 2027 (72 plans in all).

Which Wellcare Medicare Advantage plans are offered in North Las Vegas for 2027?

North Las Vegas is in Clark County, where Wellcare is offering 2 Medicare Advantage plans for 2027. Both are HMO-POS plans, both include drug coverage, and both are Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid.

The two plans, listed in CMS's 2027 Landscape file for the county, are:

• Wellcare SilverSummit Healthplan Dual Access (HMO-POS D-SNP) — new for 2027
• Wellcare SilverSummit Healthplan Dual Liberty (HMO-POS D-SNP) — renamed (previously Wellcare Dual Access (HMO-POS D-SNP))

The table below lists every plan with its type and drug-coverage status. For costs, provider networks, drug formularies and star ratings, use the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE — we don't publish those details here.

What is new or not returning from Wellcare in Clark County for 2027?

For 2027, Wellcare has 1 new plan, 1 renamed plan, and 2 plans that are not returning in Clark County. If one of the plans leaving is yours, your carrier is required to send you a notice; your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC), which plans mail in September, has the specifics.

A renamed plan is not necessarily the same plan under a new label — benefits, networks, and drug lists can shift year to year. Read the ANOC side by side with the Evidence of Coverage before deciding to stay.

If your 2026 Wellcare plan is not on the 2027 list and you take no action, you may be moved to Original Medicare on January 1, 2027, without drug coverage. You then have a Special Enrollment Period to pick a new Medicare Advantage or Part D plan.

What is a D-SNP, and who can join one?

A Dual Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) is a Medicare Advantage plan built for people who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. Both Wellcare plans in Clark County for 2027 are D-SNPs, so to enroll you need to be eligible for both programs. Nevada Medicaid determines your Medicaid eligibility; Medicare handles the Medicare side.

For 2027, Wellcare is not offering a Chronic Condition SNP (C-SNP) or Institutional SNP (I-SNP) in the county. If you're not dual-eligible, you'd need to look at the other carriers in Clark County — there are 9 others, with 72 Medicare Advantage plans in all for 2027.

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

The fastest way is the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov. You enter your ZIP code, add your prescriptions and dosages, and add the pharmacies you use. The tool then shows each plan's estimated yearly cost, drug coverage and star rating.

To confirm doctors and hospitals, open the plan's provider directory on the Wellcare website or call the plan directly — directories update throughout the year. For questions you'd rather ask a person, 1-800-MEDICARE is open 24/7.

A short checklist before December 7, 2026:

1. Read your ANOC for your current plan. 2. List your doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and all prescriptions (name, dose, frequency). 3. Run each candidate plan through Plan Finder. 4. Call the plan to confirm your providers are in network for 2027 specifically. 5. If you're switching, enroll by December 7 for a January 1, 2027 start.

What program-wide Medicare changes take effect in 2027?

A few numbers are already confirmed by CMS for 2027, and they apply across all Part D plans — including the drug coverage inside the Wellcare Medicare Advantage plans above:

• 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: $41.33 for 2027 — this is a formula input, not what any specific plan charges.
• The coverage gap ("donut hole") remains eliminated; Part D has three phases.
• The optional Medicare Prescription Payment Plan continues, letting you spread drug costs across the year.

The 2027 Part B standard premium and deductible, and the 2027 IRMAA income brackets, have not yet been announced. CMS typically publishes those in the fall, usually November.
