How do I check whether a Regence plan is offered in my Utah county and covers my doctors and prescriptions?
The authoritative way to confirm plan availability in your Utah county for 2027 is to use the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov or to call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Enter your ZIP code, choose your county if prompted, and look at the plans listed for 2027.
For doctors, hospitals and other providers, use the plan's own provider directory, and call the office to confirm it will accept the specific 2027 plan — networks can change year to year even when the plan name stays the same. For prescriptions, check the plan's 2027 formulary (drug list) with your exact medications, dosages and preferred pharmacy. The plan's Evidence of Coverage spells out the full rules. This independent site does not quote premiums, copays, benefits, networks or star ratings for any plan.
What should Utah Medicare beneficiaries do before December 7, 2026?

A simple checklist:
- Read the Annual Notice of Change from your current plan, if you have one, and note anything that is changing for 2027.
- List the doctors, hospitals and pharmacies you want to keep using.
- List your prescriptions with exact dosages.
- Compare the 2027 plans offered in your county on medicare.gov, including — but not limited to — the Regence MedAdvantage + Rx Classic (PPO) and Regence MedAdvantage + Rx Enhanced (PPO) plans if they are offered where you live.
