Recent updates from insurance carriers indicate that certain Medicare Advantage plans will be discontinued in select markets for 2026. This is a nationwide Medicare Advantage change that impacts the availability of these plans across all areas of medical care—not just eye care—so it may affect how your overall health coverage is administered in 2026.
We want to assure you that our practice is not dropping any insurance plans.
What this means for you
If you received your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) letter outlining your 2026 benefits, your plan is continuing and will automatically renew.
If you received a cancellation letter from your insurance company, your current coverage will end on December 31, 2025, and you will need to choose a new plan for 2026.
What to do now (please act soon)
Seek out a trusted Medicare Broker of your choice to find a new plan
For your convenience, we are providing our patients contact information for The Heppner Group, to help guide you through this process.
Bring (or have handy): your Medicare card, current plan ID card, list of medications, preferred pharmacy, and preferred doctors/clinics.
If you’ve received a plan termination or non-renewal letter, please have it available during your consult.
