Ways Your Medicare Advantage Plan May Have Changed This Year

Medicare Advantage plans often change yearly, affecting deductibles, copays, networks, and benefits. Unlike original Medicare, which has consistent rules, Advantage plans vary and may increase costs in 2026. They offer extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, and sometimes home services or meal delivery for certain conditions. Networks may change, limiting provider options and increasing out-of-network costs. Enrollees have until March 31 to switch plans or return to original Medicare.
