For 2027, Utah's Medicare Advantage lineup includes 51 plans from 8 carriers.

- If your plan is on the list, your carrier is required to mail you a non-renewal notice; read it and keep it.
- Annual Enrollment 2027 runs October 15 through December 7, 2026, and the choice you make takes effect January 1, 2027.

Which Medicare Advantage plans are not returning in Utah for 2027?
Eight Medicare Advantage plans offered in Utah for 2026 are not returning in 2027, drawn from six carriers. The full statewide list is rendered as a table on this page; by carrier they are Aetna Medicare Enhanced (PPO) from Aetna (CVS Health); HealthSpring Premier (HMO-POS) and HealthSpring True Choice (PPO) from HealthSpring; two Humana Value Choice H5216-456 (PPO) entries from Humana; Molina Medicare Complete Care Select (HMO D-SNP) from Molina Healthcare of Utah & Idaho; Regence Valiance (PPO) from Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah; and Select Health Medicare + Kroger (HMO) from Select Health.
Each plan is sold county by county, so a plan on this list may or may not have been offered in your specific county. For 2027, Utah will still have 51 Medicare Advantage plans available from 8 carriers.
Which non-renewing Utah plans served the most counties in 2026?
Among the Utah plans leaving for 2027, the Molina Medicare Complete Care Select (HMO D-SNP) was offered in the largest number of counties in 2026, at 23. Regence Valiance (PPO) was offered in 12 Utah counties, and one of the Humana Value Choice H5216-456 (PPO) entries was offered in 10. Aetna Medicare Enhanced (PPO) and Select Health Medicare + Kroger (HMO) were each offered in 9 Utah counties, HealthSpring True Choice (PPO) in 7, HealthSpring Premier (HMO-POS) in 6, and the second Humana Value Choice H5216-456 (PPO) entry in 2.
County counts describe where the plan was sold in 2026, not where every member lives. Nothing here should be read as ranking the plans; it is only a map of footprint.
How will I know if my Medicare Advantage plan is leaving Utah in 2027?
If your Medicare Advantage plan is not returning in 2027, your carrier is required to send you an Annual Notice of Change or a separate non-renewal letter, typically arriving in October 2026. The letter will say the plan will not be offered in 2027 and will explain your options.
The second way to tell is to look at the plan name on your member ID card and match it, exactly, against the list above. Spelling matters: a plan with a similar name but a different contract number is a different product.
What happens if I do nothing and my Utah plan is not renewed for 2027?
If your Medicare Advantage plan is not renewed and you make no other choice by December 7, 2026, you will be returned to Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) on January 1, 2027. Original Medicare does not include Part D prescription drug coverage, so unless you actively enroll in a stand-alone Part D plan or a new Medicare Advantage plan that includes drug coverage, you will not have drug coverage on January 1.
Original Medicare also does not include the extras some Medicare Advantage plans package in. If you want a Medicare Advantage plan for 2027, or a Medigap policy paired with a Part D plan, that is an active choice you make during Annual Enrollment 2027 or during the special window described below.
Is there a Special Enrollment Period if my Medicare Advantage plan leaves Utah?
Yes. When a Medicare Advantage plan is non-renewed, Medicare provides a Special Enrollment Period that runs through the end of February 2027, giving affected members additional time beyond December 7 to pick a new Medicare Advantage plan or a stand-alone Part D plan.
A plan non-renewal also triggers a federal Medigap guaranteed-issue right, meaning you can buy certain Medigap (Medicare Supplement) policies without medical underwriting within a limited window. The exact Medigap plans available and any additional state protections are set at the state level; for Utah specifics, contact the Utah Insurance Department.
How do I check my own county's Medicare Advantage lineup for 2027?
To see the 2027 Medicare Advantage plans available where you live, use the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov and enter your ZIP code, or call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These are the official sources for plan availability, benefits and drug coverage in your county.
Statewide counts do not describe any single county. A plan that is leaving overall may not have been in your county to begin with, and a plan that is continuing statewide may not reach your county either. Only the Plan Finder shows the actual 2027 menu at your address.
What should Utah Medicare members do before December 7, 2026?
Before December 7, 2026, Utah members should confirm whether their current Medicare Advantage plan is on the non-renewal list and, if it is, compare the 2027 options available in their county through medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE. The deadline is a date on the calendar, not a reason to rush a decision you are not ready to make.
If your plan is continuing, you still have the right to review it against other 2027 options; the Annual Enrollment 2027 window is the same for everyone. Keep any letters your carrier sends, make a list of your doctors and prescriptions, and have them handy when you compare plans.
Where can I get free help with Medicare in Utah?
Free, official help is available year-round from Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048) and from the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov. Both can confirm the 2027 plans in your Utah county and walk you through how to enroll.
For questions about Medigap rules and consumer protections specific to Utah, contact the Utah Insurance Department. For Social Security questions tied to your Medicare enrollment, contact the Social Security Administration.
