Where do its 2026 members go?

The CMS crosswalk moves the members of the 2026 plan into 3 plans for 2027. It names the plans but not which member goes to which; the counties show where each 2027 plan is sold, and the plan's Annual Notice of Change says which one is yours.

2027 plan	Sold in	Members in those counties, Sept. 2026	Premium 2027	Limit 2027
Stays in this plan	2 of its 2 2026 counties, in Florida	794	$7.30	$2,900
UHC Preferred Dual Complete FL-Y6H1045-063	2 of its 2 2026 counties, in Florida	794	$0	$9,850
UHC Dual Complete FL-YLH2509-001	1 of its 2 2026 counties, in Florida	434	$0	$9,850

Where the plans are sold in the same counties, the member counts overlap, so they add up to more than the plan's members.
