What this plan is
This is a Medicare Advantage plan with drug coverage, sold across Texas as a Regional PPO, which means it covers a whole region rather than a small set of counties. With a PPO, you can often see doctors outside the plan's network, although you pay more when you do, and you do not need to choose a main doctor.
Medicare rates this plan's contract 3 out of 5 stars overall for 2027, with 3 stars for health care and 3 stars for drug coverage.
What it costs
- Monthly premium: $138. You still pay your Part B premium on top of this amount.
- Yearly limit on in-network care: $9,850. Once your copays and coinsurance for Part A and Part B care reach this amount in a year, you pay nothing more for covered in-network care that year.
- Drug deductible: $685 a year. The most any 2027 drug plan can charge for the standard deductible is $700, so this plan sits just under that cap.
- Drug coverage type: enhanced alternative. The plan covers drugs with its own cost setup, which can differ from the standard Part D design, so check your own drugs on the plan's drug list before you join.
The premium and the numbers above are the same in every county where this plan is sold, because Medicare's file lists one premium for all 254 counties in its service area.
Where it is sold
This plan is sold in all 254 counties in Texas, which is every county in the state. A plan with a name like this one in another state is a different plan with its own costs, even when the company name on the card looks the same, so this page is only about the Texas plan.
Before you join
Before you join, check that your doctors are in the network and your drugs are on the plan's list, because both the network and the drug list can change each year.
