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.

All 5 PPO plans here come from UnitedHealthcare and WellSense Health Plan. 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.

Common questions

New Hampshire Medicare Advantage PPO plans, answered

How much do Medicare Advantage PPO plans cost in New Hampshire?
Of the New Hampshire PPO plans with a published premium, 100% charge $0 a month. 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 plan's out-of-pocket maximum — check it on each plan, since CMS does not publish it uniformly for PPO plans.
What are the star ratings for New Hampshire PPO plans?
The 4 rated PPO plans in New Hampshire average 3.75 out of 5 stars, with 1 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 PPO plans are available in New Hampshire?
There are 5 PPO plans from 2 carriers, sold across 4 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.
Do New Hampshire PPO plans include prescription drug coverage?
5 of the 5 PPO plans here bundle Part D drug coverage into the plan. That is the usual arrangement for Medicare Advantage and there is no separate drug premium for it — the plan premium covers 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?
None of the PPO 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.

A $0 premium is not the whole cost.
