My Medicare Advantage plan was canceled for 2027, what do I switch to before the deadline?
UnitedHealthcare and Humana are ending Medicare Advantage plans for 2027, and seniors must pick a new plan or move to Original Medicare plus Medigap and Part D, often without knowing their guaranteed issue rights or deadlines.
Who has it: Medicare Advantage members whose plan is not renewing for 2027, their adult children, and the SHIP counselors and independent brokers who help them.

A plan termination copilot that reads the non-renewal letter, knows the member's drugs and doctors, explains guaranteed issue Medigap rights and the special enrollment window, and compares a new Advantage plan against Original Medicare plus Medigap and Part D on total yearly cost.
Tools that solve this
4 named so far, and where each one stops.
- Medicare Plan Finder (medicare.gov)
Compares plans and drug costs, but does not flag guaranteed issue Medigap rights or check your doctors against each network.
- SHIP counselors
Free and unbiased, but appointment waits are long during the October to December enrollment rush.
- Brokers and call centers (eHealth, Chapter)
Free to the member, but paid by carriers and limited to the plans they sell.
- Insurer non-renewal letters
State the plan is ending, rarely explain the special enrollment window or Medigap option.
