CMS crosswalk: members move into H4513-109 in 29 of its 30 counties; in the others the plan ends

Folds in part

HealthSpring TotalCare (H4513-055) is not offered under this ID in 2027. The CMS plan crosswalk of October 1, 2026 moves its members into HealthSpring TotalCare (H4513-109), in the 29 counties where that plan is sold (4,653 members in September 2026). In its other 1 county (36 members) there is no plan to move into: coverage ends December 31, 2026, and members there need to choose a new plan (counties with fewer than 11 members are not counted). 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.

What can members do, and by when?

If you live in Autauga (AL), Baldwin (AL), Bibb (AL), Blount (AL), Cherokee (AL), Chilton (AL), Colbert (AL), Coosa (AL), Cullman (AL), Dallas (AL), DeKalb (AL), Etowah (AL), Jackson (AL), Jefferson (AL), Lauderdale (AL), Lawrence (AL), Limestone (AL), Lowndes (AL), Madison (AL), Marshall (AL), Mobile (AL), Montgomery (AL), Morgan (AL), Perry (AL), Shelby (AL), St. Clair (AL), Talladega (AL), Tuscaloosa (AL), Walker (AL)

If you do nothing
You are moved into HealthSpring TotalCare on January 1, 2027.
October 15 to December 7, 2026
Open enrollment: choose another Medicare Advantage plan, or Original Medicare with a drug plan, instead.

If you live in Elmore (AL)

Your coverage
Ends December 31, 2026: HealthSpring TotalCare is not sold where you live.
October 15 to December 7, 2026
Open enrollment: join another Medicare Advantage plan, or Original Medicare with a drug plan. Coverage starts January 1, 2027.
December 8, 2026 to the end of February 2027
A special enrollment period because the plan is leaving: you can still join a plan, but coverage starts the first day of the month after you join, so choose by December 31 to have no gap.
If you do nothing
You are enrolled in Original Medicare when the plan ends, without a drug plan unless you join one (with Extra Help or full Medicaid, Medicare enrolls you in one).
Without a drug plan
Going 63 days or more in a row without drug coverage can mean a late enrollment penalty if you join a drug plan later; joining by the end of February keeps a January and February gap under 63 days, waiting longer does not.
If you have Medicaid or Extra Help
You can switch to a different drug plan, or leave a Medicare Advantage plan for Original Medicare with a drug plan, once a calendar month; the change starts the first day of the next month.
