Medicare Advantage plan networks can change from year to year. Because each insurance plan determines its own network, your insurance company is the best source to confirm whether your healthcare providers will be covered in 2027.
To better understand your coverage:
Contact your insurance plan. Call the Member Services number on the back of your insurance card. Be sure to ask specifically about your 2027 coverage, as your current 2026 network may change. Ask whether Family Health Medical Services, PLLC and your current healthcare providers will be considered in-network.
Review your benefits. Confirm that your prescription medications will continue to be covered and review any copays, deductibles, prior authorization requirements, or network restrictions that could affect your care.
Request confirmation in writing. Ask your insurance plan to provide written confirmation of your 2027 coverage, either by email or letter, so you have documentation if questions arise later.
