Median out-of-pocket max

Across the 6 HMO plans in New Hampshire that publish one, the in-network out-of-pocket maximum has a median of $7,025 and tops out at $9,850 — the ceiling on what you pay in a year for covered in-network care. The mean is $7,408, 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.

Only two insurers sell Medicare Advantage HMO plans in New Hampshire.

All 6 HMO plans here come from Humana and UnitedHealthcare. With the field this narrow, the decision is mostly about which plan design inside that network fits your care — so start by confirming your doctors and hospitals are in it.

New Hampshire has one of the smallest Medicare Advantage HMO markets in the country.

There are 6 HMO plans here from 2 insurers, against an average of about 77 per state. Fewer options makes the comparison quicker, but it also means one plan's network or drug list can decide the whole choice.

Common questions

New Hampshire Medicare Advantage HMO plans, answered

How much do Medicare Advantage HMO plans cost in New Hampshire?
Of the New Hampshire HMO plans with a published premium, 50% 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 $7,025 across these plans.
What are the star ratings for New Hampshire HMO plans?
The 6 rated HMO plans in New Hampshire average 4.00 out of 5 stars, with 6 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 New Hampshire?
There are 6 HMO plans from 2 carriers, sold across 7 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. 1 of them are Special Needs Plans with extra eligibility rules (see below).
Do New Hampshire HMO plans include prescription drug coverage?
5 of the 6 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 New Hampshire?
1 of the 6 HMO plans in New Hampshire 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.
