MEDICARE & MEDICAID CHANGES (2026–2027)

Big changes are here—and more are on the way. Stay informed about updates that could affect your healthcare coverage, prescription drug costs, eligibility, and benefits. Understanding these changes can help you make confident decisions for yourself and your loved ones.   

Helpful Resources

Key Takeaways:

~Prescription drug costs remain more predictable.

Medicare Part D continues its redesigned benefit with no coverage gap ("donut hole"), an annual out-of-pocket spending limit, and no cost sharing after beneficiaries reach the catastrophic coverage phase. 

~Medicare Advantage plans may change benefits each year.

Review your plan during Medicare Open Enrollment to ensure your doctors, medications, and benefits still meet your needs. CMS also finalized payment and policy updates for 2027. 

~Many Medicare telehealth services continue through December 31, 2027.

This includes continued telehealth flexibilities for behavioral health and certain services provided through Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).  

~Some Medicaid eligibility rules are changing.

Beginning in 2027, many states will implement new Medicaid work and community engagement requirements for certain adults, along with additional eligibility verification requirements. Requirements and exemptions vary by state. 

~Stay informed during Medicare Open Enrollment.

 Compare plans annually to review premiums, prescription drug coverage, provider networks, and extra benefits before making a decision.
