Medicare Advantage PPO plans in Colorado
There are 23 Medicare Advantage PPO plans in Colorado from 5 carriers, averaging 3.89 out of 5 stars across the 23 plans CMS has rated. 73% of those with a published premium charge $0 a month (17 of 23); beyond the premium, what separates them is network, drug coverage and how much you could owe in a bad year.
Across the 23 PPO plans in Colorado that publish one, the in-network out-of-pocket maximum has a median of $7,150 and tops out at $9,850 — the ceiling on what you pay in a year for covered in-network care. The mean is $7,372, which sits above the median — the spread is not symmetric, so the median is the better guide.
