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	95 of its 95 2026 counties, in Tennessee	562	$0	$9,850
Wellpoint Dual Advantage PlusH5828-002	95 of its 95 2026 counties, in Tennessee	562	$0	$9,850
Wellpoint Full Dual Advantage 2H5828-018	95 of its 95 2026 counties, in Tennessee	562	$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.
