What Anthem is offering in New York County for 2027
For plan year 2027, Anthem's lineup in New York County includes 5 Medicare Advantage plans:
- 2 HMO plans (both D-SNPs for dual-eligible members)
- 3 HMO-POS plans
- All 5 include Part D prescription drug coverage
- 0 Chronic Condition SNPs and 0 Institutional SNPs
The table on this page lists every Anthem plan by name and type. The 2027 plans are, in alphabetical order: Anthem HealthPlus Full Dual Advantage (HMO D-SNP), Anthem HealthPlus Full Dual Advantage LTSS 2 (HMO D-SNP), Anthem Medicare Advantage (HMO-POS), Anthem Medicare Advantage 2 (HMO-POS), and Anthem Veteran 2 (HMO-POS).
Because the Medicare Plan Finder is the official source for benefits, costs, networks and formularies, we don't repeat any of those details here. The ANOC Anthem mails or posts to current members is the other key document — it describes what is changing from your 2026 plan to its 2027 version.
What's new, what's not returning
Anthem's year-over-year changes in New York County, based on the CMS MA Landscape Source Files for 2026 and 2027:
- New for 2027: 0 plans
- Renamed for 2027: 0 plans
- Not returning for 2027: 2 plans
If a plan you are in today is one of the two not returning, Anthem is required to notify you in writing. You can switch to another plan during the Annual Enrollment Period (through December 7, 2026) for a January 1, 2027 start date, and in many cases a Special Enrollment Period also applies when your plan leaves.
Special Needs Plans in the lineup
Two of Anthem's 2027 plans in New York County are Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs). D-SNPs are built for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid. To enroll in a D-SNP, you need to qualify for Medicaid in New York State; eligibility and the level of Medicaid you have can affect which D-SNP you can join. The specifics are confirmed when you apply.
How to check a plan against your doctors and prescriptions before December 7
The most reliable way to compare any plan — Anthem's or another carrier's — is to run your own information through the Medicare Plan Finder:
1. Go to medicare.gov/plan-compare and sign in (or start as a guest). 2. Enter your ZIP code in New York City and your Medicare number if you want personalized results. 3. Add your prescriptions exactly as written (dose and quantity matter) and your preferred pharmacy. 4. Open each plan you're considering and check: Is each of your doctors and hospitals in-network? Is every prescription on the formulary, and at what tier? What is the plan's total estimated yearly cost for you? 5. Call the plan directly to confirm a provider is still in-network for 2027 — directories update throughout the year.
If you'd rather talk to a person, 1-800-MEDICARE is open 24/7.
