Median out-of-pocket max

Across the 121 HMO plans in Arizona that publish one, the in-network out-of-pocket maximum has a median of $4,450 and tops out at $9,850 — the ceiling on what you pay in a year for covered in-network care. The mean is $5,405, which sits above the median — the spread is not symmetric, so the median is the better guide.

A $0 plan premium is not a free plan. You still pay your Part B premium to Medicare, plus copays and coinsurance as you use care. Star ratings are published by CMS per contract, so every plan a carrier files under the same contract shares one rating — it describes the carrier’s performance, not this specific plan’s benefits. Estimate your real costs.

46% of Arizona's HMO plans are Special Needs Plans.

56 of 121 plans here are SNPs — restricted to people who also have Medicaid, live in an institution, or have a qualifying chronic condition. If none of those apply to you the field is smaller than the headline count suggests, so filter them out before comparing.

Arizona HMO plans rank 23rd of 49 on star rating.

Across the 114 rated plans here the average overall rating is 3.75 stars, 23rd highest of the 49 states with HMO plans. Ratings apply to the contract, so every plan a carrier files under one contract shares the same score.

Common questions

Arizona Medicare Advantage HMO plans, answered

How much do Medicare Advantage HMO plans cost in Arizona?
Of the Arizona HMO plans with a published premium, 88% charge $0 a month. The monthly premium is what you pay the plan for its medical (Part C) and drug (Part D) coverage together. A $0 premium does not mean the plan is free: you still pay your Part B premium to Medicare, plus copays and coinsurance as you use care. The number that actually caps a bad year is the in-network out-of-pocket maximum, with a median of $4,450 across these plans.
What are the star ratings for Arizona HMO plans?
The 114 rated HMO plans in Arizona average 3.75 out of 5 stars, with 61 rating 4 or better. CMS rates a contract rather than an individual plan, so every plan a carrier files under the same contract shares one score. A contract that is too new or has too little data is not rated at all, which is different from rating badly.
How many Medicare Advantage HMO plans are available in Arizona?
There are 121 HMO plans from 17 carriers, sold across 15 counties. Availability is set by county, so the plans you can actually join depend on where you live — the full list is rarely available in any one place. 56 of them are Special Needs Plans with extra eligibility rules (see below).
Do Arizona HMO plans include prescription drug coverage?
117 of the 121 HMO plans here bundle Part D drug coverage into the plan. That is the usual arrangement for Medicare Advantage, and you pay one monthly premium to the plan — but that premium has a medical (Part C) part and a drug (Part D) part, and the drug part is often what makes it more than $0. Each plan's page shows both. If you join a Medicare Advantage plan without drug coverage, you generally cannot add a standalone Part D plan alongside it.
What is a Special Needs Plan, and are there any in Arizona?
56 of the 121 HMO plans in Arizona are Special Needs Plans. SNPs limit enrollment to people who also have Medicaid, live in a nursing home or similar institution, or have a qualifying chronic condition. They often carry richer benefits for that group, but if you do not meet the criteria you cannot join one — so the real number of plans open to you may be lower than the total.

A $0 premium is not the whole cost.
