Your options in Cortland County, NY
- Stay with Lifetime Healthcare. CMS's 2027 plan list still shows other Lifetime Healthcare plans in Cortland County, so ask the plan which plan you would be moved to and whether your doctors and drugs are covered under it.
- Choose a different Medicare Advantage plan that is offered in Cortland County. We can pull up the plans available at your address and go through them with your doctors and prescriptions in front of us.
- Go back to Original Medicare, with a Medicare supplement (Medigap) plan and a stand-alone Part D drug plan if you need them. The rules for Medigap, including whether you must answer health questions, depend on your situation and state, so we will go through that with you before you give anything up.
- Compare the full picture, not just the monthly cost: your doctors and hospitals, your prescriptions and pharmacy, and what you could pay in a bad year.
What to do this week
- Find the letter from Lifetime Healthcare about your plan. Plans must send written notice if they are not renewing, so look in your mail and in the member portal.
- Write down your doctors, your prescriptions with their doses, and your pharmacy. These decide which plan works for you.
- Mark your dates. The Annual Enrollment Period generally runs October 15 to December 7, with new coverage starting January 1. People whose plan is not renewing generally get a Special Enrollment Period that runs from December 8 through the end of February. Confirm your own dates with your plan or with us.
- Call 855-367-1095 and tell us your county and plan name. A licensed agent will go over what is available where you live and what fits. It costs you nothing to ask, and we will say plainly what we can and cannot help with.

Where this comes from, and its limits
This page was built from public CMS files: CMS CY2026 Landscape (Sept 2025 release), CMS CY2027 Landscape (Sept 2026 release), and CMS Monthly Enrollment by Contract/Plan/State/County, Sept 2026. A plan is listed when CMS's 2026 Landscape lists a plan in a county and CMS's 2027 Landscape does not list any segment of that plan there. Member counts are the people CMS reports enrolled in the plan in those counties in September 2026. CMS hides enrollment counts of 10 or fewer, so "at least" means the real number can be higher.
This is what CMS's files show. It is not a notice about any one person's coverage, and CMS can correct or update its files after we built this page. Your plan's written notice is what tells you what is happening to your coverage, so check it and confirm with the plan.
