63 Medicare Advantage Plans Not Returning in Ohio for 2027: The List
COLUMBUS, Ohio — When the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services published its 2027 Medicare Advantage Landscape file, 63 Medicare Advantage plans that are being offered to Ohioans in 2026 did not reappear on the 2027 list for any county in the state. For 2027, Ohio's lineup shows 180 Medicare Advantage plans from 20 carriers. If one of the 63 is the plan a reader is enrolled in now, that plan will not be available on January 1, 2027, and a decision will need to be made during Annual Enrollment 2027.

- If your 2026 plan is on the non-renewal list, your carrier must mail you an Annual Notice of Change or a non-renewal letter before Annual Enrollment 2027 begins.
- Annual Enrollment 2027 runs October 15 – December 7, 2026, and a choice made in that window takes effect January 1, 2027.
- A member whose plan is non-renewed also has a Special Enrollment Period that runs through the end of February 2027 and a Medigap guaranteed-issue right at the federal program level.

How many Medicare Advantage plans are not returning in Ohio for 2027, and which carriers are affected?
In Ohio, 63 Medicare Advantage plans offered in 2026 are not in the CMS 2027 Landscape file for any county in the state. The non-returning plans come from Aetna (CVS Health), Centene (WellCare), Communicare Advantage, Devoted Health, Elevance Health (Anthem), HealthSpring, Humana, Medical Mutual of Ohio, MediGold, Molina Healthcare of Ohio, Paramount Elite Medicare Plans, SummaCare Medicare Advantage Plans, The Health Plan, and UnitedHealthcare. The full list — plan name, carrier, plan type, and the number of counties each one serves in 2026 — is rendered as a table on this page.
A plan is sold county by county, so a plan on the list may never have been available in your county. The point to check is whether the exact plan name on your 2026 member card appears on that list.
Which non-returning Ohio Medicare Advantage plans served the most counties in 2026?
Several of the 63 non-returning plans were offered across all 88 Ohio counties in 2026, meaning they touched members in every part of the state. Those statewide-footprint plans include Wellcare Assist (HMO-POS), Wellcare Dual Access (HMO-POS D-SNP), Wellcare Dual Reserve (HMO-POS D-SNP), Wellcare Simple (HMO-POS), Aetna Medicare Dual Care (HMO D-SNP), Aetna Medicare Partial Dual (HMO D-SNP), Humana USAA Honor Giveback with Rx (PPO), and UHC Dual Complete OH-D1 (PPO D-SNP). Other broadly offered non-returning plans, such as Humana Dual Select H5525-046 (PPO D-SNP), Humana Value Plus H5525-041 (PPO), The Health Plan SecureCare SNP (HMO D-SNP), and The Health Plan SecureChoice - Option II (PPO), served 75 or more counties in 2026. The table on this page lists every plan with its exact county count.
How can an Ohio member tell if their Medicare Advantage plan is leaving for 2027?
There are two concrete signals. First, if a plan is not renewing, the carrier must mail the member a non-renewal letter (sometimes labeled a "plan non-renewal notice") before Annual Enrollment 2027 opens on October 15, 2026. Second, the plan's exact name — the one printed on the member ID card and on the Annual Notice of Change — appears on the Ohio non-returning list on this page.
If neither the letter nor the list names your plan, your plan is continuing into 2027, though its 2027 Annual Notice of Change may still describe changes. Compare the plan name character for character; carriers often sell several plans with similar names.
What happens to an Ohioan who does nothing after their Medicare Advantage plan is non-renewed?
If a Medicare Advantage plan does not return for 2027 and the member makes no other choice, that member goes back to Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) on January 1, 2027. There is no automatic reassignment to another Medicare Advantage plan.
Original Medicare does not include Part D prescription drug coverage. A member who wants drug coverage in 2027 would need to actively enroll in a standalone Part D plan or in a Medicare Advantage plan that includes drug coverage. Doing nothing leaves a person with Original Medicare and no drug plan.
What Special Enrollment Period and Medigap right apply when an Ohio Medicare Advantage plan is non-renewed?
At the federal program level, a member whose Medicare Advantage plan is non-renewed qualifies for a Special Enrollment Period that runs through the end of February 2027. During that window the person can join another Medicare Advantage plan or a standalone Part D plan without waiting for the next Annual Enrollment.
A plan non-renewal also triggers a Medigap guaranteed-issue right under federal rules, which lets the person buy certain Medigap policies without medical underwriting within a set window. State-specific Medigap rules in Ohio are set by the Ohio Department of Insurance, and that department is the right place to confirm which Medigap plans and timeframes apply to a given situation.
How can an Ohioan check their own county's 2027 Medicare Advantage lineup?
The county-level 2027 lineup is published in the CMS Medicare Advantage Landscape Source File and is searchable through the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov. Entering a ZIP code returns the plans available in that specific county for 2027, including plan names, plan types, and plan details.
Because a plan is sold county by county, the statewide count of 180 plans from 20 carriers for 2027 is not the number offered in any one county. For plan details — premiums, deductibles, copays, covered drugs, provider networks and star ratings — use the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov, call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), or read the plan's Evidence of Coverage and provider and pharmacy directories.
What should an Ohio Medicare Advantage member do before December 7, 2026?
Before December 7, 2026, confirm whether your 2026 plan is on the Ohio non-returning list on this page or named in a non-renewal letter from your carrier. If it is, pick a 2027 plan during Annual Enrollment 2027 (October 15 – December 7, 2026) so coverage is in place on January 1, 2027.
A short checklist: read the Annual Notice of Change or non-renewal letter; list the doctors, hospitals and prescriptions that need to be covered; compare 2027 options for your county on medicare.gov; and enroll in the chosen plan before December 7, 2026.
Where can an Ohioan get free help comparing 2027 plans?
Free help is available from Medicare directly. The Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov compares every 2027 plan offered in a given ZIP code, and 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048) is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer questions and help with enrollment.
