    • UnitedHealthcare is committed to advancing Medicare Advantage by delivering better health outcomes, high-quality care and lower costs for taxpayers and beneficiaries when compared to Original Medicare
    • Our 2026 offerings preserve access to affordable Medicare Advantage plans despite programmatic funding cuts
    • UnitedHealthcare is modernizing coverage to address rising health care costs while protecting what matters most to Medicare consumers

    UnitedHealthcare® today introduced its 2026 Medicare Advantage plans, offering reliable coverage and benefits to meet the evolving needs of Medicare consumers. With more than 45 years of experience in serving Medicare beneficiaries and nearly two decades as the most chosen Medicare Advantage brand1, UnitedHealthcare remains focused on delivering value and choice. Our plans are designed to help members stay healthy, offering a wide range of plan options tailored to the diverse health needs and budgets of Medicare consumers.

    "Our members count on us for coverage that helps them get the care they need, at a price they can afford," said Bobby Hunter, CEO of UnitedHealthcare Government Programs. "We're modernizing our offerings in response to rising health care costs while preserving what matters most to our members. From $0 copays to enabling access to high-quality care, we're helping people live healthier lives with confidence and support."

    Medicare Advantage continues to deliver better outcomes and lower costs than Original Medicare. In 2026, UnitedHealthcare's plans will be available to 94% of Medicare eligibles, maintaining its position as the nation's largest Medicare Advantage carrier1. The company prioritized $0 premiums, $0 copays for primary care and Tier 1 prescriptions for plans with prescription drug coverage, and access to dental, vision and hearing benefits – features not available through Original Medicare.

    Preserving what matters to Medicare consumers

    • 94% of Medicare-eligible individuals will have access to UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans.
    • Most Medicare beneficiaries will have access to a $0 premium Medicare Advantage plan that makes staying healthy easier and more affordable. That includes $0 copays for preventive care, primary care visits, lab work, and many commonly used prescriptions.
    • Extra benefits like dental, vision, and hearing coverage, and a free gym membership, help people stay active and maintain their overall health.
    • Nearly all members will keep $0 copays on Tier 1 prescriptions at any network retail pharmacy and $0 copays on Tier 2 prescriptions when using Optum Home Delivery. Tier 2 copays at retail pharmacies are improving slightly, with 93% of members having a stable or reduced copay amount.
    • Members will also retain access to a diverse network of nearly 1 million providers that delivers quality care and strong patient outcomes.

    UnitedHealthcare has also expanded access to HMO, D-SNP, C-SNP plan offerings:

    • Expanded access to HMO plans, which will reach 92% of eligible beneficiaries and help members save more while offering greater benefit stability and stronger care coordination. With a primary care provider at the center of a coordinated health care experience, HMO plans prioritize members' overall health and help them navigate the complex health care system.
    • Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) will be available to nearly 80% of dual eligibles with more flexibility to meet their needs through the combined over-the-counter, healthy food and utilities credit. Additionally, all D-SNP members will retain $0 copays for Tier 1 prescriptions, which have a high prevalence of maintenance use, and a quarter of all D-SNP members will retain $0 copays for all covered prescriptions.
    • Chronic Special Needs Plans (C-SNPs) offer low out-of-pocket costs and tailored benefits designed for consumers with complex health care needs, including a healthy food benefit and low cost sharing to help manage chronic disease, such as $0 diabetic supplies and insulin copays of $25 or less, for more than 46 million eligible individuals.
    • Tailored plan designs like "Essentials" and "Extras," offering consumers a choice in prioritizing lower medical costs or richer supplemental benefits. These plan options will expand to reach nearly 20 million eligible consumers.

    The bottom line

    UnitedHealthcare is focused on dedicated stewardship of the Medicare program by keeping care accessible, costs low for taxpayers and beneficiaries, and experiences member-focused in 2026 and beyond. From preventive care to chronic condition management to helping members navigate unexpected health events, UnitedHealthcare's Medicare Advantage plans are built to support better outcomes and a more connected care experience. This commitment to quality was recently recognized when UnitedHealthcare was named the Best Insurance Company for Medicare Advantage 2025 by U.S. News & World Report.
