What's Changing in 2026

The Medicare Landscape Is Shifting

2026 brings meaningful changes to Medicare Advantage, Part D drug costs, and plan availability in Pinellas County. If you haven't reviewed your coverage since last year, now is the time.

💊

$2,000 Part D Cap Continues

The Inflation Reduction Act's $2,000 annual out-of-pocket cap on prescription drug costs remains in effect for 2026 — a major benefit for anyone on maintenance medications.

📋

Plan Availability Is Changing

Several Medicare Advantage carriers have adjusted their plan offerings, networks, and benefits for 2026. A plan that worked well in 2025 may have changed its formulary, copays, or provider network.

🏥

Part B Premium Update

CMS has announced updated Part B premiums and deductibles for 2026. We'll walk you through exactly how these changes affect your total annual Medicare cost.

Annual Review Reminder: Even if you're happy with your current plan, we recommend a free annual review every fall during the Annual Enrollment Period (Oct 15 – Dec 7). Plans change their benefits, formularies, and networks every year.

Understanding Your Medicare Options

Part C

Medicare

Medicare Advantage plans bundle Part A (hospital), Part B (medical), and often Part D (prescriptions) into a single private plan. Many include dental, vision, and hearing benefits. Costs and network restrictions vary by plan and county.

Medigap

Medicare Supplement

Medigap plans work alongside Original Medicare to cover cost-sharing gaps — deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. They offer broader provider access and predictable costs, typically at higher monthly premiums.

Part D

Prescription Drug Plans

Standalone Part D plans add prescription drug coverage to Original Medicare or a Medigap plan. We compare formularies, tier structures, and pharmacy networks to find the best fit for your specific medications.
