For 2027, Washington's Medicare Advantage market shows 115 plans from 15 carriers, according to the same CMS source. If your plan is on the non-renewal list, you will have a window to pick a new one, and you will not be left without Medicare — but the fall calendar matters.

How many Medicare Advantage plans are not returning in Washington for 2027, and which carriers are affected?
Forty-four Medicare Advantage plans offered in Washington in 2026 are not in the CMS 2027 Landscape file for any Washington county. For 2027, the state's lineup is 115 plans from 15 carriers.
The non-returning plans come from Aetna (CVS Health), Centene (Wellcare), Elevance Health (Wellpoint), HealthSpring, Humana, Kaiser Permanente, Molina Healthcare of Washington, Providence Medicare Advantage Plans, Regence BlueShield, SCAN Health Plan, and UnitedHealthcare. The full list — plan name, carrier, type, and counties served in 2026 — is in the table on this page. A plan is sold county by county, so a plan on the list may never have been offered in your county at all.
Which non-returning Washington plans served the most counties in 2026?
Several of the exiting plans were available in large portions of the state in 2026. From Centene, Wellcare Dual Access Open (PPO D-SNP) and Wellcare Dual Liberty Sync Open (PPO D-SNP) each served 39 counties, and Molina Medicare Complete Care Select (HMO D-SNP) also served 39 counties.
Other broad footprints among the exiting plans include Wellcare Patriot Giveback Open (PPO) at 36 counties; Wellcare Dual Reserve (HMO-POS D-SNP), Wellpoint Dual Advantage (HMO D-SNP) and Wellpoint Full Dual Advantage (HMO D-SNP) at 35 each; Humana Gold Plus SNP-DE H1036-324 (HMO D-SNP) at 34; Wellcare Giveback (HMO-POS) and Wellcare Simple (HMO-POS) at 32 each; Humana Gold Plus SNP-DE H1036-326 (HMO D-SNP) at 32; Humana Together in Health (PPO I-SNP) at 31; AARP Medicare Advantage from UHC WA-12 (PPO) and WA-16 (PPO) at 21 each; UHC Complete Care WA-13 (HMO-POS C-SNP) at 19; and AARP Medicare Advantage from UHC WA-0010 (HMO-POS) at 18. See the table for every plan and county count.
How can a Washington Medicare Advantage member tell if their plan is leaving in 2027?
Two signals. First, carriers must mail an Annual Notice of Non-Renewal — usually arriving in late September or early October 2026 — telling you the plan will not be offered in 2027. Second, you can check your plan's exact name against the list on this page.
Match the name as it appears on your member ID card to the plan name in the table, exactly. Carriers often sell several plans with similar names, and small differences (a contract-plan number, "Open," "+ Rx," "WA-12" vs. "WA-16") decide whether yours is the one leaving.
What happens to a Washington enrollee who does nothing before December 7, 2026?
If your plan is non-renewed and you do not choose another Medicare Advantage or Part D plan, you are automatically returned to Original Medicare (Parts A and B) effective January 1, 2027. You keep Medicare. You will not, however, have Part D prescription drug coverage unless you actively enroll in a stand-alone Part D plan or a new Medicare Advantage plan that includes drug coverage.
Going without creditable drug coverage can also create a late-enrollment penalty later. If you rely on prescriptions, this is the piece to handle before the Annual Enrollment 2027 deadline on December 7, 2026.
What Special Enrollment Period and Medigap rights apply when a Washington plan is non-renewed for 2027?
At the federal program level, people whose Medicare Advantage plan is non-renewed get a Special Enrollment Period that runs from December 8, 2026 through the end of February 2027 to choose a new Medicare Advantage plan or a stand-alone Part D plan. That is on top of the regular Annual Enrollment 2027 window of October 15 – December 7, 2026.
A federal Medigap guaranteed-issue right may also apply when a Medicare Advantage plan leaves the service area, letting you buy certain Medigap (Medicare Supplement) policies without medical underwriting within a limited window. State-specific Medigap rules in Washington are set by the Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner; confirm the current rules with that office before you decide.
How do I check my own county's 2027 Medicare Advantage lineup in Washington?
Use the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov and enter your ZIP code, or call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), available 24/7. The Plan Finder shows every Medicare Advantage and Part D plan available in your county for 2027, with each plan's premium, deductibles, drug list, provider network and star rating.
Statewide, 115 Medicare Advantage plans from 15 carriers are offered in Washington for 2027, but the plans available in any single county are a subset of that. Your ZIP code is what determines your actual choices.
What should Washington Medicare members do before December 7, 2026?
Before Annual Enrollment 2027 closes on December 7, 2026, confirm whether your current plan is on the non-returning list, and — if it is — compare the 2027 plans available in your county on Medicare.gov. Have your Medicare number, your prescription list, and the names of the doctors and pharmacies you use ready.
Even if your plan is returning, benefits, drug lists and networks can change each year. The Annual Notice of Change that carriers send in September spells out what is different for 2027.
Where can Washington residents get free help with Medicare for 2027?
Free, unbiased help is available from Medicare itself at 1-800-MEDICARE, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and online at medicare.gov. Both can answer questions about enrollment periods, compare plans in your ZIP code, and help you enroll.
For questions about Medigap rules specific to Washington, contact the Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner.
