CMS crosswalk: members move into H3239-027
Aetna Medicare Dual Extra Care (H3239-007) is not offered under this ID in 2027: the CMS plan crosswalk of October 1, 2026 moves its members into Aetna Medicare Full Dual Care (H3239-027), which is sold in every county it served. 2,788 people were enrolled in it in September 2026; they can also choose another plan during open enrollment, October 15 to December 7, 2026. The crosswalk also lists part of the plan as terminated without saying which members; your Annual Notice of Change says whether you move to a new plan or your coverage ends.
