Plan types: HMO: Health Maintenance Organization — you use the plan's own network of doctors and hospitals, and usually need a referral to see a specialist. Enhanced: Enhanced drug benefit — more than the standard Part D benefit -- a lower deductible, a lower copay, or more drugs covered.

Among the 88 other plans sold in the same counties, the average monthly premium is $44.29, the average out-of-pocket cap $7,814, and the average star rating 3.8 across the 82 that CMS rated. These averages are ours, from the same CMS file; everything else on this page is as published.

How many people chose it

6,364 people were enrolled across the 8 counties it is sold in in September 2026. CMS suppresses any county count of ten or fewer, so the real total is a little higher than this.

How CMS rates it, domain by domain

Each domain is rated 1 to 5. 0 of 9 domains carry no rating — CMS either did not require this contract to report them or had too little data.

CMS files as loaded on 17 September 2026. Premiums, deductibles, maximum out-of-pocket amounts, star ratings and sanctions are reproduced from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services landscape file. Enrolment counts are from the CMS monthly enrolment file; CMS suppresses any count of ten or fewer, which is why many plans show “fewer than 11” rather than a number. The only figures we calculate are the averages and medians marked as ours, from those same files. This is not a complete list of your options and it is not advice: see Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE.
