Key takeaways

  • Texas has 421 Medicare Advantage plans for 2027 from 21 carriers, and all 421 include drug coverage.
  • 100 plans are new for 2027 and 102 plans are not returning, so check whether your current plan is on the 2027 list.
  • Plan availability is set county by county; compare only the plans offered where you live, using the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov.
  • The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7, 2026, with coverage effective January 1, 2027.

Those 421 plans are the statewide total. Medicare Advantage is sold county by county, so a plan on the statewide list may or may not be offered where you live. The way to see what applies to your ZIP code is to look up your own county in the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov.

The statewide numbers for 2027

For plan year 2027, CMS lists 421 Medicare Advantage plans across Texas from 21 carriers. All 421 plans include prescription drug coverage. Year over year, 100 plans are new for 2027 and 102 plans are not returning for 2027. That turnover is the main reason to read your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) carefully this fall — the plan you have today may look different in January, or it may not be offered at all next year.

Again, these counts are statewide. The number of plans available to any one Texan depends on their county.

Plan types and Special Needs Plans

Across the 421 Texas plans, CMS classifies them by type: 247 HMO, 95 HMO-POS, 78 PPO, and 1 PFFS.

Within that total, Special Needs Plans (SNPs) are built for people who meet specific eligibility rules:

SNPs have enrollment rules beyond regular Medicare Advantage plans. If you think a SNP might fit your situation, confirm eligibility through Medicare Plan Finder or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE.

The carriers offering plans in Texas for 2027

Twenty-one carriers are on the 2027 Texas landscape. In alphabetical order they are Aetna (CVS Health), Alignment Health Plan, Baylor Scott & White Health Plan, Centene (WellCare), Clover Health, Community First, Community Health Choice, Devoted Health, El Paso Health Medicare Advantage, Elevance Health (Anthem), HealthSpring, Humana, MedCare Partners Health Plan of Texas, Molina Healthcare of Texas, Inc., ProCare Advantage, Prominence Health Plan, Provider Partners Health Plans, SCAN Health Plan, Texas Independence Health Plan, UnitedHealthcare, and Verda Health Plan of Texas.

The full carrier-by-carrier plan counts, plan types, and D-SNP totals are rendered as tables elsewhere on this page. Some carriers are statewide in scope; others, such as El Paso Health Medicare Advantage or Community Health Choice, concentrate in particular regions of Texas. The only way to know which of these 21 carriers actually offers plans where you live is to look up your county.

How to compare the plans in your own county

Here is a step-by-step way to narrow the statewide list down to the plans that actually apply to you.

1. Start at the Medicare Plan Finder. Go to medicare.gov/plan-compare and enter your ZIP code. The site will show only the Medicare Advantage plans available in your county for 2027. 2. Add your prescriptions. Enter the exact drugs, doses, and quantities you take. The Plan Finder will show how each plan handles each drug. 3. Add your pharmacies. Mail-order and retail pricing can differ. Add the pharmacies you actually use. 4. Check your doctors and hospitals. The Plan Finder links to each plan's provider directory, but confirm directly with your doctor's office and preferred hospital that they will be in-network for the specific 2027 plan you are considering. Networks change at the plan level, not the carrier level. 5. Read your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC). If you are already in a Medicare Advantage plan, your carrier mailed or posted an ANOC by late September describing what is changing for 2027. Compare it against your current year's coverage. 6. Pull the Evidence of Coverage (EOC) for any plan you are seriously considering. The EOC is the full rulebook — appeals, prior authorization, out-of-area rules, and more. 7. Write down what matters to you before you compare: the drugs you take, the doctors you want to keep, the hospitals you want access to, and whether you travel out of state. Then score each plan on your own list.

Because 100 plans are new for 2027 and 102 are not returning, do this comparison even if you have been happy with your current coverage. Your plan may be one of the 102, or your county's mix of options may simply look different in January.

What to do before December 7

The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7, 2026. During that window you can:

Whatever you choose during AEP takes effect January 1, 2027. If you take no action, you generally stay in your current plan under its 2027 terms — which is why reading the ANOC matters. Separate enrollment rules apply outside AEP, including the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period from January 1 through March 31 and certain Special Enrollment Periods; details are at medicare.gov.

Frequently asked questions

How many Medicare Advantage plans are available in Texas for 2027?
CMS lists 421 Medicare Advantage plans statewide for 2027 from 21 carriers, and all 421 include prescription drug coverage. Availability is set county by county, so the number offered in your area will be smaller.
My current plan isn't on the 2027 list — what happens?
For 2027, 102 plans are not returning. If yours is one of them, your carrier is required to notify you, and you have a Special Enrollment Period to choose a new plan. Compare your options at medicare.gov or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE.
When does my 2027 choice take effect?
Any Medicare Advantage or Part D choice you make during the Annual Enrollment Period of October 15 through December 7, 2026 takes effect January 1, 2027.
What is a Special Needs Plan?
A Special Needs Plan limits enrollment to people who meet specific criteria. Texas has 119 D-SNPs (for people with both Medicare and Medicaid), 67 C-SNPs (for certain chronic conditions), and 7 I-SNPs (institutional) for 2027. Eligibility rules apply; check medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE.
