What this means for you
- 56 plans offered in 2026 are not offered again in Ohio for 2027. If yours is one of them, your plan must send you a letter before Open Enrollment. Some members are moved into another plan from the same company; the letter says what happens to you, and you can choose a different plan during Open Enrollment.
- 31 plans are new in Ohio for 2027. Some may be existing plans offered under a new plan number.
- Every county with plans has more than 3 to choose from in 2027. Plans still differ by county, so compare the ones offered where you live.
- The highest in-network out-of-pocket limit rose to $9,850 (from $9,250 in 2026). Compare the yearly limit, not just the monthly premium.
- 2027 drug costs, stars and pharmacy networks are not published yet. If you take medicines, check your costs again when CMS publishes them. We never fill gaps with 2026 numbers.
