CMS crosswalk: members move into one of 11 plans

Folds into 11 plans

Wellpoint Full Dual Advantage (H8849-010) is not offered under this ID in 2027: the CMS plan crosswalk of October 1, 2026 moves its members into 11 2027 plans, each sold in part of its area (listed below), which together serve every county it served. 34,952 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.

What changes for its members, plan by plan?

In 2026 the plan cost $2.40 a month with a $9,250 in-network limit. Each row compares that with one of the 2027 plans its members move into.

Which 2027 plans do its members move into?

The crosswalk names the plans but not which member goes to which; the counties show where each is sold, and your Annual Notice of Change names yours.

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

What can members do, and by when?

If your notice says you move to a new plan

If you do nothing
You are moved into one of the 2027 plans above on January 1, 2027. Your Annual Notice of Change names it.
October 15 to December 7, 2026
Open enrollment: choose another Medicare Advantage plan, or Original Medicare with a drug plan, instead.

If your notice says your plan is ending

Your coverage
Ends December 31, 2026.
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, and because you have Medicaid, Medicare enrolls you in a drug plan.
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.
