If you live in Reno and you're sorting through what Anthem offers next year — versus the broader market — here's what the CMS Landscape file for 2027 shows, and how to check any plan against your own doctors and prescriptions before the deadline.
What Medicare Advantage plans does Anthem offer in Reno for 2027?
In Washoe County — the county Reno sits in — Anthem offers 2 Medicare Advantage plans for 2027. Both are HMO plans, both are Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs), and both include Part D prescription drug coverage.
In alphabetical order, Anthem's 2027 plans in the county are:
- Anthem Full Dual Advantage (HMO D-SNP)
- Anthem Full Dual Advantage 2 (HMO D-SNP)
The table below lists every Anthem plan available in the county next year. MyMedicarePlans.org is an independent consumer site; we are not Anthem and not affiliated with Medicare. For benefits, costs, networks, drug lists and star ratings, use the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE.
What is a D-SNP, and who is it for?
A Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan is a type of Medicare Advantage plan limited to people who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. Because Anthem's entire Washoe County lineup for 2027 is D-SNPs, these plans are not open to every Medicare beneficiary in Reno — only to people whose Medicaid status meets the plan's rules.
If you are not sure whether you have "full" Medicaid versus a partial benefit, Nevada Medicaid or 1-800-MEDICARE can confirm your category before you apply.
What is new or not returning from Anthem in Washoe County for 2027?
Nothing is leaving and nothing is new. According to the CMS Landscape Source Files, Anthem has 0 new Medicare Advantage plans for 2027 in Washoe County and 0 plans that are not returning. No plans were renamed.
That does not mean the plans themselves are frozen. Every renewing Medicare Advantage plan sends members an Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) each fall listing what shifts for the new year — copays, drug tiers, extra benefits, provider network updates. If you are already in one of Anthem's D-SNPs, the ANOC is the document to pull before Dec. 7.
How many other Medicare Advantage choices are there in Reno for 2027?
Washoe County has 8 other carriers offering Medicare Advantage plans for 2027, for a market total of 42 plans. Anthem is one piece of that lineup, and its two D-SNPs are aimed at a specific group of enrollees.
If you don't qualify for a D-SNP, you'll be comparing general Medicare Advantage plans from the other carriers. The Plan Finder at medicare.gov lets you filter by plan type and by whether you have Medicaid.
How do I check an Anthem plan against my doctors and prescriptions before Dec. 7?
Do three checks before you enroll — in this order:
1. Confirm eligibility. D-SNPs require active full Medicaid. Verify your status with Nevada Medicaid or 1-800-MEDICARE. 2. Check your doctors. Look up each provider in the plan's directory, or call the clinic and ask whether they accept the specific plan name for 2027 (not just "Anthem"). HMO plans generally require in-network care except for emergencies. 3. Check your drugs. Enter every prescription into the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov. It will show whether the drug is on the plan's 2027 formulary, what tier it's on, and the pharmacy cost.
A few 2027 program figures to keep in mind as you compare any Part D coverage: the Part D out-of-pocket cap is $2,400 in 2027 (up from $2,100 in 2026), and the Part D maximum deductible is $700 in 2027 (up from $615 in 2026). CMS will publish the 2027 Part B standard premium, Part B deductible and IRMAA income brackets later in the fall.
What happens if I do nothing by Dec. 7, 2026?
Nothing dramatic. If you take no action during the Annual Enrollment Period, your current plan simply renews for 2027 — with whatever changes the ANOC describes — as long as it is still offered. You still have one more window after that: the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period, Jan. 1 – March 31, 2027, when current Advantage members can make one switch.
