Just The Facts
What's Changing In Your Medicare Plan for 2026?
Medicare undergoes changes each year, but the updates for 2026 are especially significant. Here are a few key highlights to keep in mind:
-
Medicare Part B premiums are projected to rise from $185 to $206.50.
-
Part D premiums will increase slightly, and deductibles will go from $590 to $615.
-
The annual out-of-pocket cap for Part D prescription drugs will increase from $2,000 to $2,100.
-
Medicare Advantage plans are scaling back supplemental benefits, like groceries, Utilities and Transportation.
-
Anthem, and certain insurers may exit specific markets. If your plan is affected, you’ll be notified by mail and will have the opportunity to choose new coverage during open enrollment.
-
Beginning in January 2026, Medicare will begin implementing negotiated prices for many high-cost medications. This should lead to savings on drugs, though it could also impact plan premiums.
-
Medicare Advantage plans will be required to improve the accuracy of their provider directories. This means up-to-date information when choosing your healthcare providers.
