Humana's Medicare Advantage plans in Arlington for 2027: the full plan-by-plan breakdown

Arlington, Texas — October 2026. If you have a Humana Medicare Advantage plan in Arlington, or you are weighing one for next year, the 2027 lineup is set. Humana will offer 25 Medicare Advantage plans in Tarrant County — the county Arlington sits in — with a mix of HMO, PPO and PFFS options, plus Special Needs Plans for people with certain health conditions, dual Medicare-Medicaid eligibility, or who live in an institutional setting. Five plans are new, five are not returning, and three have been renamed. You have until December 7, 2026 to make a change for coverage that starts January 1, 2027.

MyMedicarePlans.org is an independent consumer site, not Humana and not Medicare. The plan information here comes from CMS's public Medicare Advantage Landscape files for Tarrant County.

What Humana Medicare Advantage plans are available in Arlington for 2027?

The table below lists every Humana plan available in the county for 2027, in alphabetical order, with its plan type and whether it carries drug coverage. Humana is one of 12 carriers offering Medicare Advantage in Tarrant County next year; all carriers together offer 83 plans.

Which Humana plans are Special Needs Plans in Tarrant County?

Six of Humana's 2027 plans in Tarrant County are Special Needs Plans (SNPs), which are built for people who meet specific eligibility rules. The breakdown is 3 Dual Eligible SNPs (D-SNPs) for people enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid, 5 Chronic Condition SNPs (C-SNPs) for people with qualifying conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or end-stage renal disease, and 2 Institutional SNPs (I-SNPs) for people who live in a nursing facility or need that level of care.

Humana's C-SNP offerings in the county include plans named Humana Gold Plus - Diabetes and Heart and the new Humana DaVita Kidney Care plans. The D-SNP options include Humana Gold Plus SNP-DE H0028-032, Humana Gold Plus SNP-DE H4461-071 and Humana Gold Plus SNP-DE H4461-072. The I-SNP offerings are Humana Together in Health plans. To enroll in any SNP, you need to meet that plan's eligibility rules; medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE can walk you through whether you qualify.

What is new or not returning from Humana in Arlington for 2027?

Compared with 2026, Humana has 5 plans that are new for 2027 in Tarrant County, 5 that are not returning, and 3 that have been renamed. CMS's year-over-year Landscape files are the source for those counts.

The new names on the 2027 roster include Humana DaVita Kidney Care (PPO C-SNP), a second Humana Gold Plus - Diabetes and Heart (HMO C-SNP), an additional Humana Together in Health (PPO I-SNP), and Humana Value Choice (PPO). Three plans carry new names for 2027: Humana Essentials Plus Giveback (PPO) was previously Humana Essentials Plus Giveback H7617-035 (PPO); Humana Total Complete (HMO) was previously Humana Total Complete H4461-051 (HMO); and HumanaChoice Giveback H5216-358 (PPO) was previously Humana Essentials Plus Giveback H5216-358 (PPO).

If your current plan is one of the five not returning next year, Humana is required to send a notice. If your plan is renewing, your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) — typically mailed by late September — spells out any changes to premiums, cost-sharing, provider networks and the drug list for 2027.

How do I check a Humana plan against my doctors and prescriptions before December 7?

The most reliable way is the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov. You can enter your ZIP code, add your prescriptions and your pharmacy, and compare specific plans side by side on what you would actually pay for your drugs. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048) any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

To confirm doctors and hospitals, check the provider directory on Humana's own website for the specific plan you are considering, or call Humana to confirm that your providers are in-network for 2027 — networks can change from one year to the next. For the full fine print on benefits, cost-sharing and coverage rules, ask for the plan's Evidence of Coverage (EOC) document.

A few things to have in front of you when you compare:

• Your Medicare number
• A current list of your prescriptions, with doses and how often you take them
• Your preferred pharmacy
• The names of the doctors, specialists and hospitals you want to keep

What Part D figures should I keep in mind for 2027?

Two Part D numbers for 2027 are already confirmed by CMS. The annual Part D out-of-pocket cap rises to $2,400 in 2027 (up from $2,100 in 2026). The Part D maximum deductible rises to $700 in 2027 (up from $615 in 2026). The Part D national base beneficiary premium for 2027 is $41.33 — that is a formula input CMS uses, not what any particular plan charges.

The 2027 Part B standard premium and deductible, along with the 2027 IRMAA income brackets, have not been announced yet. CMS typically publishes those figures in the fall, usually November. Nothing on this page should be read as a projection of those numbers.

Also worth knowing: the Part D coverage gap (the "donut hole") has been eliminated since 2025, so Part D now has three phases. And if the timing of your drug costs is a strain, the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan lets you spread your out-of-pocket drug costs across the year in monthly installments.

What happens if I do nothing by December 7, 2026?

Nothing happens automatically to a person who does nothing — if your current plan is being offered again in 2027, it simply renews with the changes described in your ANOC. If your plan is one of the five Humana plans not returning in Tarrant County, you will get a non-renewal notice and a Special Enrollment Period to pick a new plan.

If you want to switch Medicare Advantage plans, drop a Medicare Advantage plan to go back to Original Medicare, or add or change a Part D plan, the Annual Enrollment Period is October 15 through December 7, 2026, and the change takes effect January 1, 2027. If you are already in a Medicare Advantage plan on January 1, there is also the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period from January 1 through March 31, 2027, when you can make one change.
