How these are counted
- People with Medicare: total beneficiaries in CMS's Medicare Monthly Enrollment file, July 2026, by county of residence. "Medicare Advantage and other plans" is CMS's category for Medicare Advantage and other Medicare health plans.
- Plans open to everyone: Medicare Advantage plans (with or without drug coverage) that aren't special needs plans, counted by contract and plan in the CY2027 Landscape file.
- Members whose plan ends: October 2026 members of regular plans that end or leave their county, from the Landscape files and the 2027 Plan Crosswalk; people CMS moves into another plan that still covers their county aren't counted.
- We don't show plans' premiums, cost sharing, star ratings or benefits.
