Humana Is Not Renewing Some Medicare Advantage Plans for 2027
Humana has confirmed it will not renew a specific set of Medicare Advantage plans for the 2027 plan year -- targeting plans rated 3.5 stars or lower for the 2027 bonus year, not its entire Medicare Advantage business. Federally required non-renewal notices are dated October 2, 2026, with coverage under the affected plans ending December 31, 2026.
What's verified so far
- Carrier: Humana
- Scope confirmed so far: Plans rated 3.5 stars or lower for the 2027 bonus year (not a state or region -- specific low-rated plans)
- Estimated members affected: Approximately 600,000 (about 8% of Humana's 7.2 million Medicare Advantage members), per Humana's own July 29, 2026 earnings call
- Estimated members needing new coverage: Approximately 360,000, after Humana's own estimate that roughly 40% will be moved into other Humana plans
- Non-renewal notice date: October 2, 2026 (federally required deadline for a January 1 non-renewal)
- Coverage end date for affected plans: December 31, 2026
What's not yet known
Humana has not yet publicly disclosed which specific plans, states, or counties are affected -- that detail is expected with the October 2, 2026 member notices and the CMS Plan Crosswalk CMS typically publishes around October 1. This page will be updated with specific plan and county information once it's verified. If you have a Humana Medicare Advantage plan, the most reliable way to know if your specific plan is affected is the notice Humana sends you, or a call to confirm.
