In 2025, approximately 2.6 million Medicare beneficiaries will experience terminations of their Medicare Advantage plans. However, data indicates that 98.9% of these beneficiaries will have at least one MA-PD option available in 2026.
This transition reflects a robust infrastructure within the Medicare Advantage system, as over two-thirds (68.7%) of affected beneficiaries will have multiple plan options to choose from, facilitating smoother continuity in healthcare services.
The capacity of the Medicare Advantage market to absorb these changes suggests a resilient framework, potentially mitigating disruptions in care delivery for the affected population.
