Aetna is dropping its Medicare Advantage PPO plans. Here's your move.
Aetna ... and a few other carriers ... are pulling PPO Advantage plans for 2027. If you're losing a PPO, you have a protected window and some genuinely good alternatives. We'll help you choose, at no cost.
What's happening
Aetna is discontinuing certain Medicare Advantage PPO plans for 2027, part of a broader wave of carrier exits and plan changes this year. If your plan is going away, this isn't a time to auto-renew into whatever replaces it ... it's a chance to choose on purpose.
Because you're losing the plan involuntarily, Medicare gives you extra rights and a wider set of options than a normal year.
Why losing a PPO actually matters
A PPO gave you real flexibility, and it's worth keeping if you used it. The things people value most about a PPO:
No referrals
See specialists directly, without a primary-care gatekeeper sending you first.
Out-of-network option
You can still see providers outside the network (at a higher share) instead of being locked in ... useful for a specific doctor or a second opinion.
Travel & specialists
Better for snowbirds, frequent travelers, or anyone who wants doctors a narrower network doesn't have.
The like-for-like replacement we like: a 4-star Humana PPO
If you want to stay with a PPO and keep the out-of-network freedom and no-referral access you're used to, there's a highly-rated 4-star Humana PPO we like and can quote where it's available. It's the closest match to what you're losing, and that star rating reflects what members actually experience.
We'll confirm it's offered in your ZIP and check that your doctors and prescriptions are covered before recommending anything.
This is the rare moment to compare Medigap
Because your plan is being discontinued, you may qualify for guaranteed-issue rights ... the ability to buy certain Medigap (Supplement) plans without medical underwriting, even with health conditions.
We'll match it to your doctors and drugs
The right replacement comes down to whether your providers are in-network and your prescriptions are covered at the best total cost. Tell us your current plan and your doctors below and we'll check the real networks ... not a brochure.
