Devoted Medicare Advantage Plans 2027

Devoted’s plans differ by county. Premiums, plan types and benefits change from area to area, and some areas may also offer plans built for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid. Look up the exact plans for your ZIP code, since a plan sold in one county may not be available in the neighboring one.

Several places where Devoted is expanding are areas other insurers are leaving. Aetna is exiting New Hampshire and HCSC is exiting New York and Connecticut, so Devoted may appear among 2027 options for people in those states.

Compared with the national insurers, Devoted is newer and smaller. That alone is neither good nor bad, but it shifts what you should look at:

If your plan ends for 2027 and Devoted is newly available where you live, compare it side by side with your other options. The right choice is whichever plan covers your doctors and drugs at the lowest total cost, no matter which company offers it.

Medicare Advantage, sometimes called Part C, lets you receive your Medicare benefits through a Medicare-approved private insurer. These plans cover everything Original Medicare Part A and Part B cover, with the exception of hospice care, which Original Medicare continues to pay for. Most also bundle Part D drug coverage, and many may tack on extras like routine dental, vision and hearing benefits.

The trade-off is that Devoted plans generally rely on networks of doctors and hospitals and may require prior authorization or referrals for some services. Unlike Original Medicare, every Medicare Advantage plan has a yearly out-of-pocket maximum for covered medical care. You continue to pay your Part B premium, along with your plan’s premium if there is one.

A Devoted plan that will not be offered in your county for 2027 should have triggered a non-renewal notice in early October. Coverage does not end immediately: it runs through December 31, 2026, giving you time to decide.

Each fall, Medicare gives every Medicare Advantage and Part D plan a rating of 1 to 5 stars, based on factors such as preventive care, how well chronic conditions are managed, member complaints, customer service and accuracy of drug pricing. You can see the ratings in Medicare Plan Finder.

When your income and savings are limited, two programs can greatly lower your Medicare costs:

If you qualify for both Medicare and full Medicaid, you may also be able to join a Dual Special Needs Plan. See help for low-income Part D beneficiaries.

The Annual Notice of Change must reach members by September 30. It is the most useful single document you receive each fall, since it spells out exactly how your plan will change on January 1.

Outside of the fall and early-year windows, changing plans generally requires a Special Enrollment Period. Typical reasons include:

Every Special Enrollment Period has a separate time limit, so move as soon as the event occurs.

Prior authorization is required by most Medicare Advantage plans for certain services, including some surgeries, advanced imaging, skilled nursing stays and some drugs. While your doctor usually submits the request, ask whether a scheduled service needs approval so you are not caught off guard by a denial.

You or your doctor can appeal a denied request. Medicare rules give plans deadlines for decisions, and those deadlines are shorter when a wait could seriously harm your health.

Emergency and urgent care are covered by every Medicare Advantage plan anywhere in the U.S., whether in or out of network, and an emergency does not require prior approval. Routine care while traveling is different: HMOs generally do not cover it, and PPOs cover out-of-network care at a higher cost.

If you’re away from home for months each year, ask every plan how it covers care where you stay. This is among the most frequent reasons people change plans partway through the year.

You have the right to appeal if your plan denies a service, a drug or payment for care. The denial notice from the plan explains the process. Appeals have several levels, beginning with the plan and moving on to independent reviewers.

If your issue isn’t about coverage, such as wait times or customer service, you can file a grievance with your plan. For help, you can also reach out to 1-800-MEDICARE or your State Health Insurance Assistance Program.

Of the major figures, only the Part B premium is not published alongside the plans. CMS typically announces it in November. Projections in the 2026 Medicare Trustees Report put the 2027 standard premium at about $209.50 a month and the deductible at about $292, up from $202.90 and $283 in 2026. You continue paying it even with Medicare Advantage.

Miss the Annual Enrollment deadline and your current plan automatically renews for 2027, including the changes listed in your Annual Notice of Change. Medicare Advantage members get one more opportunity, from January 1 to March 31, 2027, to change Medicare Advantage plans or go back to Original Medicare and join a Part D plan.

Many Medicare Advantage plans may cover telehealth for some services, at times with a lower copay than an in-person office visit. It is handy for follow-ups and minor problems, but you still need to confirm that your regular doctors are in network.

You do not need to compare plans by yourself, and help should not cost you anything. Here are the free options:

Gather your Medicare card, a list of your drugs and doses, your doctors and your preferred pharmacies before you call. That way a long conversation becomes a quick one.
