🚨 **Attention Humana Medicare Advantage Members**
You might have heard that Humana will be discontinuing some Medicare Advantage plans in 2027 — affecting around 600,000 members nationwide.
Before you worry, here's what that actually means:
Humana is NOT leaving Medicare Advantage. With over 35 million Americans on Advantage plans, Humana is still one of the biggest carriers. They are simply closing certain plans in certain areas.
We won't know exactly which plans until late September / early October when the mail starts arriving.
**What to watch for in your mailbox:**
You will get one of two letters:
1. An Annual Notice of Change — your plan is staying, but benefits may change.
2. A Plan Non-Renewal Notice — your plan is ending Dec 31st.
**If you get #2, that letter is VERY valuable. Please do not toss it.**
Why? Because when your Advantage plan ends, federal rules may give you a special right to enroll in a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan WITHOUT having to answer health questions.
For many people who couldn't qualify for a Supplement before due to health conditions, this opens a door back to Original Medicare + Supplement + drug coverage.
You have time. You have protections. And you have more than one option — including another Advantage plan if that's a better fit.
Our advice at Kauffman Insurance Group:
✅ Keep every letter from your current plan
✅ Don't rush into the first replacement option you see
✅ Let's review your doctors, prescriptions, and budget together
We are already preparing for 2027. If you get a letter that says your plan is ending, send us a photo of it and we will walk you through every choice you have.
We do not offer every plan available in your area. To get information on all of your options, please contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE.
