Medicare in Canby: 59 Advantage plan choices for 2026

Medicare in Canby: how many Advantage plans were offered in Clackamas County for 2026, plus where to find the 2027 lineup.

CANBY, Ore. — If you're sorting through Medicare choices this fall for 2027 coverage, here's the local snapshot: Canby sits in Clackamas County, where 59 Medicare Advantage plans were available for the 2026 plan year, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) plan landscape data. The 2027 lineup is in each plan's ANOC and on Medicare.gov's Plan Finder. Knowing how the counts break down can make comparison shopping less overwhelming.

What "59 plans" actually means

Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans are approved and listed at the county level, not the city level. So while we say "Medicare in Canby," the 2026 availability figure — 59 Medicare Advantage plans — reflected every MA plan offered anywhere in Clackamas County for 2026. The 2027 lineup is in each plan's ANOC and on Medicare.gov's Plan Finder.

Those 59 plans come from 13 different carriers offering Medicare Advantage with prescription drug coverage (MA-PD). That variety is why many people feel stuck: more choices can mean more comparing.

A note on stand-alone Part D plans

CMS landscape data shows 0 stand-alone Part D prescription drug plans listed separately for this area. Stand-alone Part D plans are typically paired with Original Medicare (Parts A and B) when someone wants drug coverage but not a Medicare Advantage plan. If that's your situation, it's worth calling 1-800-MEDICARE or checking medicare.gov's Plan Finder directly, since drug plan availability can look different depending on how you search.

What's new for 2027 you should know

A few program-level changes apply no matter which plan you look at:

• Part D out-of-pocket cap: Your total out-of-pocket spending on covered prescription drugs is capped at $2,100 in 2026. Once you hit that, you pay $0 for covered drugs for the rest of the year.
• Part D deductible: The maximum allowable deductible is $615 in 2026. Plans can charge less, but not more.
• No more "donut hole": The coverage gap was eliminated in 2025. Part D now has three phases instead of four.
• Medicare Prescription Payment Plan: This optional program lets you spread your drug costs into monthly payments throughout the year instead of paying large amounts at the pharmacy counter.
• IRMAA: Higher-income enrollees pay an Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount on Part B and Part D premiums. For 2026, IRMAA begins above $109,000 in income for a single filer.

About Star Ratings in this area

CMS rates Medicare Advantage and Part D contracts on a 1-to-5 star scale based on quality and member experience. Star Ratings are one data point among many; they're worth reviewing on medicare.gov, but they aren't the whole picture and shouldn't be the only reason you pick a plan.

Key dates to circle

• Annual Enrollment Period (AEP): Oct. 15 – Dec. 7. This is when you can join, switch, or drop a Medicare Advantage or Part D plan for coverage starting Jan. 1.
• Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period: Jan. 1 – March 31. If you're already in a Medicare Advantage plan, you get one chance during this window to switch to a different MA plan or return to Original Medicare.
