How many Anthem Medicare Advantage plans are offered in New York for 2027?
Anthem is offering 12 Medicare Advantage plans across New York for 2027, based on the CMS Landscape Source File. All 12 include Part D prescription drug coverage.
By plan type, the 12 split into 6 HMO plans and 6 HMO-POS plans. Anthem also lists 3 Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) in that total, with 0 Chronic Condition SNPs (C-SNPs) and 0 Institutional SNPs (I-SNPs). For context on choice in the state, CMS lists 23 other carriers offering Medicare Advantage plans in New York for 2027, and 224 Medicare Advantage plans in total statewide from all carriers combined. Those statewide numbers do not describe what is available in any one county — Medicare Advantage plans are sold county by county.
Which Anthem Medicare Advantage plans reach the most New York counties in 2027?
The Anthem plans with the widest New York county reach in 2027 are the carrier's D-SNP and HMO-POS offerings, led by Anthem HealthPlus Full Dual Advantage (HMO D-SNP) at 11 counties, Anthem HealthPlus Full Dual Advantage LTSS 2 (HMO D-SNP) at 10 counties, and Anthem Veteran 2 (HMO-POS) at 10 counties.
Further down the list, two Anthem Medicare Advantage (HMO-POS) plans and an Anthem Medicare Advantage 2 (HMO-POS) plan each reach 5 counties, while several other Anthem plans — including two Anthem Medicare Advantage (HMO) plans and an Anthem Medicare Advantage 3 (HMO-POS) plan — are offered in just 1 county apiece. The full plan-by-plan county counts are shown in the table on this page; the point of the ranking is simply that geography matters. A plan name that appears on the statewide list may or may not be available where you live.
What is new or not returning in Anthem's New York lineup for 2027?
For 2027, Anthem has 1 new Medicare Advantage plan in New York and 3 plans that are not returning, according to the CMS year-over-year Landscape files. The new plan is a version of Anthem HealthPlus Full Dual Advantage (HMO D-SNP) offered in 4 counties.
The filing also shows one plan being renamed rather than discontinued: an Anthem Medicare Advantage offering that was previously an HMO is listed for 2027 as Anthem Medicare Advantage (HMO-POS), offered in 2 counties. If your current Anthem plan is among the 3 not returning for 2027, Medicare will send you an Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) explaining your options, and you can compare other 2027 plans during the Annual Enrollment Period.
How do I check whether an Anthem plan is offered in my New York county and covers my doctors and prescriptions?
To check whether a specific Anthem plan is offered in your New York county for 2027, enter your ZIP code at Medicare.gov's Plan Finder or call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The statewide total of 12 Anthem plans is a ceiling, not a county-level menu — several of Anthem's plans are listed in just 1 county, so most New Yorkers will see a shorter list of Anthem options than the statewide figure suggests.
Plan details such as premiums, deductibles, copays, extra benefits, provider networks, pharmacy networks, drug formularies and star ratings are not included in this article. For those, use the Medicare Plan Finder, call 1-800-MEDICARE, or read the plan's own Evidence of Coverage, provider directory and drug list before enrolling. If you take specific prescriptions or see specific doctors, confirm each one against the plan you are considering.
What should New York Medicare beneficiaries do before December 7, 2026?
Before December 7, 2026, review your current coverage against the 2027 plans available in your county, because any Annual Enrollment Period choice you make between October 15 and December 7, 2026, takes effect January 1, 2027. That is the window to switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan, switch between Medicare Advantage plans, or move back to Original Medicare and consider a stand-alone Part D plan.
A simple checklist: read the ANOC from your current plan, list your doctors and prescriptions, confirm your county's 2027 options on Medicare.gov, and verify that any Anthem plan you are considering — such as one of the Anthem HealthPlus Full Dual Advantage (HMO D-SNP) plans or Anthem Veteran 2 (HMO-POS) — is actually offered in your county. D-SNPs have additional eligibility rules tied to Medicaid; the Social Security Administration and your state Medicaid office can confirm your status.
Where can New Yorkers get free help comparing 2027 Medicare plans?
Free, official help is available year-round from Medicare.gov and from 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), which is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Both can walk you through the 2027 plans available in your New York ZIP code without steering you to any carrier.
You can also check your Medicare eligibility and enrollment status with the Social Security Administration at ssa.gov or 1-800-772-1213. Again, this site is independent; it does not sell insurance and is not affiliated with Anthem or with any government agency.
