MyMedicarePlans.org is an independent consumer site and is not Humana. Humana is one of seven carriers offering Medicare Advantage in Milwaukee County for 2027; across all carriers, the county will have 52 plans to choose from.
How many Humana Medicare Advantage plans are offered in Milwaukee County for 2027?
Humana will offer 17 Medicare Advantage plans in Milwaukee County for 2027. By plan type, that breaks down to 2 HMOs, 14 PPOs (local and regional) and 1 Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) plan. Every one of the 17 includes Part D prescription drug coverage.
Milwaukee is in Milwaukee County, and Medicare Advantage availability is set at the county level — so a plan listed here is available to someone with a Milwaukee ZIP code within the county. The table below lists every Humana plan available in the county for 2027, by plan type and whether it includes drug coverage.
What is new, renamed or not returning from Humana in Milwaukee County for 2027?
For 2027, Humana is adding 2 new plans in Milwaukee County, retiring 1 plan, and renaming 5 others. The new names include Humana Value Choice (PPO) and HumanaChoice - Diabetes and Heart (PPO C-SNP), which is a Chronic Condition Special Needs Plan for members living with diabetes and heart conditions.
Renames do not necessarily mean a plan is identical to last year's — the benefits, network and drug list can shift when the name does. Humana sends every current member an Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) each fall that spells out exactly what is changing on their specific plan for January 1, 2027. If you cannot find yours, you can request another copy from Humana or view plan documents on medicare.gov.
If you do nothing during Annual Enrollment and your current plan is being offered again next year, it renews automatically with the ANOC changes applied. If your plan is the one not returning, Humana will send a non-renewal notice and you will have a Special Enrollment Period to pick a new plan.
Does Humana offer Special Needs Plans in Milwaukee County for 2027?
Yes. In Milwaukee County for 2027, Humana's Special Needs Plan lineup includes 2 Dual Eligible SNPs (D-SNPs), for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid, and 1 new Chronic Condition SNP (C-SNP). Separately, iCare Family Care Partnership (HMO D-SNP) also appears in Humana's listing in CMS data.
Special Needs Plans are only open to people who meet the eligibility rules — Medicaid status for a D-SNP, or a qualifying diagnosis for a C-SNP. If you are not sure whether you qualify, 1-800-MEDICARE can walk you through it.
How do I check a Humana plan against my doctors and prescriptions before December 7?
The most reliable way is the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov. Enter your ZIP code, add your prescription drugs and your preferred pharmacy, and the tool will show you each plan's estimated yearly drug cost, deductible and copays for your exact medication list. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Before the December 7, 2026 deadline, it is worth doing three things:
- Pull up your ANOC and read what is changing on your current plan for 2027.
- Check that each doctor and hospital you use is in the plan's 2027 network — call the provider's office or the plan directly, because online directories can lag.
- Run your drug list through Plan Finder for every plan you are seriously considering; formularies change every year.
What else should I know about 2027 Medicare costs?
A few program-wide figures are already set for 2027. The Part D out-of-pocket cap on what you pay for covered drugs rises to $2,400 in 2027 (up from $2,100 in 2026). The Part D maximum deductible a plan can charge rises to $700 in 2027 (up from $615 in 2026). The Part D national base beneficiary premium for 2027 is $41.33 — that is a formula input CMS uses, not what any particular plan charges.
The 2027 Part B standard premium and deductible, and the 2027 IRMAA income brackets, have not been announced yet; CMS typically publishes them later in the fall. The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan — the option to spread your drug costs across the year in monthly bills — continues in 2027.
