Medicare Advantage PPO plans in Arkansas
There are 49 Medicare Advantage PPO plans in Arkansas from 7 carriers, averaging 3.99 out of 5 stars across the 37 plans CMS has rated. 89% of those with a published premium charge $0 a month (44 of 49); beyond the premium, what separates them is network, drug coverage and how much you could owe in a bad year.
Across the 49 PPO plans in Arkansas that publish one, the in-network out-of-pocket maximum has a median of $7,600 and tops out at $9,850 — the ceiling on what you pay in a year for covered in-network care. The mean is $7,563, which sits below the median — the spread is not symmetric, so the median is the better guide.
12 of Arkansas's PPO plans carry no star rating yet.
CMS rates a contract, not a plan, and does not rate one that is too new or has too little data — so 12 plans here shows no rating at all. Unrated is not the same as badly rated; it usually means a new contract, and those plans have to be judged on benefits and network instead.
Arkansas PPO plans rank 27th of 51 on star rating.
Across the 37 rated plans here the average overall rating is 3.99 stars, 27th highest of the 51 states with PPO plans. Ratings apply to the contract, so every plan a carrier files under one contract shares the same score.
