Medicare Advantage Plans in Indiana for 2027: Carriers, County Choices and Network Checks

Reviewed by Russell Noga, Licensed Medicare Insurance Broker (all 50 states) — Last updated October 31, 2026

Indiana has 137 individual Medicare Advantage plans for 2027 from 12 insurers, led by Humana, Devoted Health, UnitedHealthcare and Anthem, and every one of the state’s 92 counties has plans. You can enroll or switch from October 15 to December 7, 2026, and how many plans you can choose from depends heavily on your county, from 76 in Marion County to 32 in Vigo County.

Hoosiers shopping for 2027 coverage have more Medicare Advantage choices than people in many neighboring states, but the menu is not the same everywhere. A retiree in Carmel or Indianapolis sees more than twice as many plans as someone in Terre Haute, and the insurers on the list change as you move from the Chicago suburbs in Lake County to the southwest corner of the state.

This guide uses our own count of the CMS 2027 plan files to show who sells plans in Indiana, how choice varies by county, and what to check before December 7, 2026. For a wider look at every Medicare option in the state, including Medigap and Part D, see our guide to Medicare plans in Indiana.

Our Analysis of CMS 2027 Plan Data for Indiana

We counted only individual plans that a person can buy on their own. Employer and union retiree plans, PACE and cost plans are not included, so the totals reflect what most shoppers will see in Medicare Plan Finder.

Measure Indiana, 2027
Individual Medicare Advantage plans 137
PPO plans 77 (56%)
HMO-POS plans 36 (26%)
HMO plans 24 (18%)
Special needs plans 42 (31%)
Plans with Giveback in the name 17
Counties with plans 92

Our analysis of CMS 2027 plan data. A county counts if a plan serves all or part of it.

Indiana leans much more toward PPOs than the country as a whole. Nationally, our count found HMOs make up 46% of individual plans and PPOs 33%. In Indiana the split is nearly reversed, which matters if you want the option of seeing doctors outside a network.

Plan count is not quality: An insurer with many plans is not automatically the best fit. Compare each plan’s 2027 star rating, network and drug list for your county.

Our analysis of CMS 2027 plan data.

The four Indianapolis-area and Lake County markets each carry about 70 plans or more. Fort Wayne and South Bend sit in the low 60s. Vigo County has the fewest in the state at 32, and nearly half of those, 14, come from Humana. Devoted Health and Aetna Medicare do not appear in Vigo’s list in our data.

plans in Marion County, the most in Indiana

32

Half

of Wayne County’s 38 plans are special needs plans

PPO or HMO-POS: The Choice Most Hoosiers Face

PPO (77 plans)

✔

Covers out-of-network doctors, usually at a higher cost share

✔

Helpful if you see specialists in Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati or Ohio

✔

Often has a higher yearly out-of-pocket limit for out-of-network care

HMO-POS (36 plans)

✔

Built around a network, with some out-of-network coverage allowed

✔

May require referrals for specialists

✔

Can fit people whose doctors all belong to one health system

Pure HMOs are the smallest group in Indiana, with 24 plans. Because Indiana borders four states, many residents near a state line get care across it. If that is you, ask whether a plan treats your out-of-state doctors and hospitals as in network before you enroll.

Network Changes Worth Checking: The Fort Wayne Example

Health systems decide which Medicare Advantage plans they accept, and those deals change. In Fort Wayne, Parkview Health says that for 2027 it is fully in network with Devoted, UnitedHealthcare, Humana and Aetna Medicare Advantage plans. It says Anthem Medicare Advantage is accepted only for its fully integrated dual eligible plans, and that Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare Advantage plans from any state will not be accepted at its Indiana locations in 2027.

Allen County shoppers: Anthem has 13 plans in Allen County in our count, under its two filing names. If Parkview is your hospital, confirm network status with the plan and with Parkview before choosing one.

How to check any Indiana hospital

✔

Search the plan’s 2027 provider directory for each doctor and hospital

✔

Check the health system’s own Medicare page for its 2027 plan list

✔

Ask your doctor’s office which 2027 plans it accepts

✔

Recheck in January, since contracts can change after enrollment opens

Special Needs and Giveback Plans in Indiana

About one in three Indiana plans is a special needs plan. You can join one only if you meet its rules. In our count there are 21 chronic condition plans (C-SNPs), 12 plans for people with both Medicare and Indiana Medicaid (D-SNPs), and 9 plans for people living in a nursing facility or needing that level of care (I-SNPs).

Plan group Indiana plans Who it is for
C-SNP 21 People with qualifying conditions, such as diabetes or heart failure
D-SNP 12 People with Medicare and Medicaid
I-SNP 9 People in or needing nursing facility care
Giveback-named plans 17 Anyone eligible; these plans may lower your Part B premium

Our analysis of CMS 2027 plan data. Giveback amounts vary by plan and are listed in each plan’s Summary of Benefits.

A Part B giveback can reduce what you pay for the 2027 Part B premium, projected at $209.50 a month. Plans that offer one may trade it for a narrower network or higher copays, so look at total costs, not just the premium.

Leaving Medicare Advantage in Indiana: Medigap, the Birthday Rule and SHIP

Indiana created a Medicare Supplement birthday rule that took effect January 1, 2026. It lets people who already have a Medigap plan switch to the same plan letter at another company each year without health questions. It does not cover someone moving from Medicare Advantage back to Original Medicare, so a Medigap insurer may still review your health in that case.

1

Check for a federal guaranteed right If you joined Medicare Advantage for the first time within the last 12 months, or your plan is leaving your area, you may be able to buy Medigap without health questions.

2

Apply for Medigap before you drop your plan Get approved first so you are not left without supplemental coverage.

3

Add a Part D drug plan Original Medicare and Medigap do not cover most prescriptions.

4

Get free counseling Indiana’s State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), run with the Indiana Department of Insurance, offers free, unbiased Medicare help at more than 75 sites.

Bottom Line

The Bottom Line

Indiana offers 137 individual Medicare Advantage plans for 2027, but your real choice depends on your county, from 76 plans in Marion to 32 in Vigo. Check each plan’s network against your hospital, since systems like Parkview limit which plans they accept, and make your change by December 7, 2026 for a January 1 start.
