Medicare Advantage HMO plans in Arkansas
There are 47 Medicare Advantage HMO plans in Arkansas from 9 carriers, averaging 3.82 out of 5 stars across the 45 plans CMS has rated. Nearly all charge no monthly plan premium, so what separates them is network, drug coverage and how much you could owe in a bad year.
Every HMO plan in Arkansas with a published premium costs $0 a month.
A $0 premium is normal for Medicare Advantage and does not mean the plan is free — you still pay the Part B premium to Medicare, plus copays and coinsurance as you use care. The out-of-pocket maximum, which averages $7,456 here, is the number that caps a bad year.
Arkansas HMO plans rank 24th of 49 on star rating.
Across the 45 rated plans here the average overall rating is 3.82 stars, 24th 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.
