33 New Medicare Advantage Plans in Washington for 2027: The List

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington's 2027 Medicare Advantage lineup includes 33 plans that were not offered in the state for 2026, according to the CMS Medicare Advantage Landscape Source Files for the current and coming plan year. Statewide, those 33 new plans sit inside a larger menu of 115 Medicare Advantage plans available somewhere in Washington for 2027. Seven carriers are bringing new plans to the state, and the new plans range from general HMO and PPO products to Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) and Chronic Condition Special Needs Plans (C-SNPs). Availability is county by county, so a plan listed statewide may or may not reach the county where you live.

How many Medicare Advantage plans are new in Washington for 2027, and which carriers are offering them?

Washington has 33 Medicare Advantage plans that are new for 2027, out of 115 plans offered somewhere in the state, according to the CMS Landscape Source Files for 2026 and 2027. Each plan is counted once statewide even though it is sold county by county.

The new plans are spread across seven carriers: Aetna (CVS Health) with 2, Devoted Health with 18, Elevance Health (Anthem) with 3, Molina Healthcare of Washington with 1, MultiCare Health Plan Medicare Advantage Evergreen Plans with 2, Regence BlueShield with 1, and UnitedHealthcare with 6. Devoted Health is new to the Washington Landscape data at scale this year, which is why its count is the largest. Several of the new plans are Special Needs Plans — C-SNPs built around specific chronic conditions, and D-SNPs for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid — so eligibility rules apply on top of county availability. The full table of 33 plans is published on this page.

Which Washington Medicare Advantage plans new for 2027 have the widest county reach?

What does it mean that a Medicare Advantage plan is "new" in Washington for 2027?

A "new" Medicare Advantage plan in Washington for 2027 is one that appears in the CMS Landscape Source File for 2027 but was not offered in Washington for 2026. Because the plan has no prior year on the Medicare.gov record, CMS does not display a Star Rating for it yet, and the plan has no multi-year track record in the state.

That is a fact about the data, not a judgment about quality. It simply means a shopper comparing a brand-new plan with an established one cannot line them up on past star performance. The current year's details — provider network, pharmacy network, formulary, and cost sharing — come from the plan's Evidence of Coverage and from the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov once 2027 information is live.

How do I check whether a new 2027 plan is offered in my Washington county and covers my doctors and prescriptions?

To check whether a Medicare Advantage plan new for 2027 is offered in your Washington county, enter your ZIP code into the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Plan Finder shows only the plans sold in your ZIP code and county.

Once you see the plans available where you live, add your prescriptions and your preferred pharmacies to see how each plan's drug list treats them. For doctors, hospitals, and clinics, confirm participation two ways: check the plan's online provider directory, and call your provider's billing office to ask whether they will accept that specific 2027 plan. Networks for new plans can take time to appear fully in directories, so a direct call is worth the few minutes.

What should Washington Medicare shoppers do before December 7, 2026?

Before December 7, 2026, review your current coverage against the plans available in your county for 2027 and make any change during the Annual Enrollment Period, which runs October 15 – December 7, 2026. A choice made in that window takes effect January 1, 2027.

A simple checklist: read the Annual Notice of Change your current plan sent you; list your prescriptions, pharmacies, and the doctors and hospitals you want to keep; run those through the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov; and, if a new 2027 plan interests you, confirm it is offered in your county and that your providers will accept it. If you qualify for a D-SNP or a C-SNP, confirm the eligibility rules with the plan directly.

Where can Washington residents get free help comparing 2027 Medicare Advantage plans?

Washington residents can get free, direct help from Medicare itself. The Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov lets you compare every 2027 plan available in your ZIP code side by side. For live help, 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048) is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in English, Spanish, and through interpreter services.
