Medicare Advantage in Camas, Washington: What to Know for 2027

For 2027, 30 Medicare Advantage plans are leaving Clark County, 11 plans are new and 24 plans are changing, out of the 76 offered for 2026. This guide explains how the plans work in Camas, Washington and what to compare — no rankings, no pressure.

57 Medicare Advantage plans are available for 2027. Because Camas is served by Clark County (part of Camas area), those are the options on the table locally. Roughly 68% of people with Medicare in the county have chosen Medicare Advantage over Original Medicare, among the roughly 86,076 residents who are 65 or older.

It surprises people, but Medicare plan availability is drawn up county by county rather than by city or state — which is why a guide like this attributes everything to the surrounding county.

Advantage or Original Medicare? The basic fork

Every Medicare decision in Camas, Washington branches from one question: do you want your coverage delivered through a private Medicare Advantage plan, or do you want to stay with Original Medicare and build around it?

Go the Medicare Advantage route and a private plan (approved by Medicare) handles your Part A and Part B, typically folds in drug coverage — within a network and a county-based service area.

Stay with Original Medicare and you keep nationwide provider freedom, then usually add a stand-alone Part D drug plan and often a Medigap policy to cover what Original Medicare doesn't.

There's no single winner here — it comes down to your providers, your medications, and your budget. We explain the trade-offs and leave the choice to you; we don't rank plans.

The 2027 numbers, from shared to plan-specific

Start with what's fixed for everyone. The standard Part B premium is $202.90 per month in 2026 (2026 amount; 2027 figure will be posted when CMS releases it), and Part A is premium-free for most people who paid Medicare taxes long enough while working.

On the drug side, Part D has real guardrails for 2027: a deductible capped at $700 and, a hard $2,400 ceiling on your out-of-pocket costs for covered prescriptions — the old coverage gap is gone.

Higher earners pay more for Parts B and D through an income-related adjustment called IRMAA, which for 2026 starts above $109,000 in annual income for an individual and is based on your 2024 tax return. Most people fall below that line and pay the standard amounts. The 2027 brackets will be posted when CMS releases them.

Everything past that is plan-specific: the premiums, copays, and coverage details of an individual Advantage or Medigap plan change from plan to plan and year to year. Rather than quote or rank those, we point you to Medicare's Plan Finder and a licensed agent for your exact numbers.

Your Medicare enrollment calendar

The dates that follow are set federally, so they don't change from state to state — only your personal timing does.

It starts with your Initial Enrollment Period — the 7-month window around your 65th birthday month — the window around turning 65 when you first sign up. Missing it can mean late penalties that stick around, so it's the one not to sleep on.

After that, the big recurring window is the Annual Enrollment Period, October 15 – December 7, when anyone can join, switch, or drop an Advantage or Part D plan for a January 1 start. And if you're already in an Advantage plan, the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment (January 1 – March 31) gives you one more chance to change course.

Life events — a move, a loss of other coverage — can also trigger a Special Enrollment Period. The calendar below shows the whole year at a glance.
