Just The Facts
What's Changing In Your Medicare Plan for 2027?
Here are a few key highlights to keep in mind:
-
Medicare Part B Deductible - The Medicare Part B deductible is increasing for 2027. We'll review what that means for you as part of your annual Medicare review.
-
New GLP-1 Bridge Program - A new Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program may help certain people access covered GLP-1 medications. There are specific eligibility requirements, so not everyone will qualify. If you think this may apply to you, we can discuss it during your review.
-
Lower Costs for Certain Prescription Drugs - Medicare's prescription drug price negotiations continue to expand, with additional medications receiving negotiated prices designed to help control the cost of some commonly used and higher-cost drugs.

AN IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR
ANTHEM & SENTARA CLIENTS
You may have already received information or heard about the ongoing negotiations between Anthem and Sentara Health.
Please don't panic or make any changes to your Medicare plan based on this situation without speaking with me first.
Anthem and Sentara are currently negotiating their agreement. I am aware of the situation and closely following how the outcome could affect my clients.
Right now, there is nothing you need to do. Continue using your current coverage and providers as usual unless you receive official information telling you otherwise.
If Anthem and Sentara do not reach an agreement, I will be here to help my clients understand how the change may affect their Medicare coverage and what options are available.
In the meantime, please pay attention to any communications you receive from Anthem, Sentara or your healthcare providers.
Most importantly, don't make a change to your Medicare plan because you're worried about what might happen. Let's work with the facts once we know the outcome and determine what is right for you.
