Compiled by Radif Partners from the CMS landscape file of September 2026 · all Texas counties and drug plans
Dallas County's Medicare Advantage market for 2027 leans on one name: Humana Inc. files 17 of the 42 plans open to anyone with Parts A and B. UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, HealthSpring and Baylor Scott & White Health Plan follow, and no Blue Cross Medicare Advantage plan is open to all residents any more: a long run of Blue Cross HMOs and PPOs from 2026 are among the 20 IDs not filed again. The open-plan count fell from 58 to 42, and plans with drugs at a $0 premium from 30 to 20. In-network caps start at $2,399 with Verda Noble Care (HMO) and reach $9,850; the median, $6,850, is above the national median of $6,550. 22 plans have four stars or more for 2027, BSW SeniorCare Advantage Select Rx (HMO-POS) among them at 4.5. The county also lists 42 special needs plans, 20 for people with Medicaid.
One insurer, many versions
Humana's 17 Dallas plans are not 17 different networks. They are variants of a few products, Gold Plus HMOs, HumanaChoice PPOs, USAA Honor plans aimed at veterans and Part B giveback plans, each with its own premium, cap and extra benefits. When you compare, pair a Humana plan with its closest rival from another insurer rather than reading all of Humana's in a row. BSW SeniorCare Advantage Select Rx (HMO-POS), rated 4.5 stars, has a $7,150 cap; Humana Gold Plus H0028-043 (HMO) pairs a $0 premium with a 4.5-star rating.
The Baylor Scott & White option
Baylor Scott & White Health Plan sells 3 open plans here, built around its own hospitals and clinics. BSW SeniorCare Advantage Essentials is not renewed for 2027. For patients already treated in that system, a health-system plan keeps records and referrals in one place; for others, its network may be narrower than a national HMO's.
Drug costs move in 2027 too
Whatever plan you pick, the Part D rules change on January 1: the maximum drug deductible goes from $615 to $700, and the yearly cap on what you pay for covered drugs from $2,100 to $2,400.

Across the Metroplex
Tarrant County lists 40 open plans, Collin 40 and Denton 32. The insurers are nearly the same; premiums and caps can differ by county even for plans with identical names.
2026 plans not filed again here for 2027
These plan IDs were offered in Dallas County in 2026 and do not appear for the county in the 2027 file. A plan can be closed, moved out of the county or merged into another ID; the insurer must tell its members in the Annual Notice of Change sent by September 30.
