Medicare Advantage HMO plans in Arkansas
There are 32 Medicare Advantage HMO plans in Arkansas from 9 carriers, averaging 3.45 out of 5 stars across the 29 plans CMS has rated. 84% of those with a published premium charge $0 a month (27 of 32); beyond the premium, what separates them is network, drug coverage and how much you could owe in a bad year.
Across the 32 HMO plans in Arkansas that publish one, the in-network out-of-pocket maximum has a median of $6,750 and tops out at $9,850 — the ceiling on what you pay in a year for covered in-network care. The mean is $7,230, which sits above the median — the spread is not symmetric, so the median is the better guide.
HMO plans in Arkansas rate below the national average.
The 29 rated HMO plans here average 3.45 stars against a national median of 3.75. That is a reason to compare carefully rather than to rule the state out — 5 plans here still rate 4 stars or better, and the rating describes the contract, not any one plan's benefits.
Arkansas HMO plans rank 43rd of 49 on star rating.
Across the 29 rated plans here the average overall rating is 3.45 stars, 43rd 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.
