Median out-of-pocket max

Across the 40 PPO plans in Oregon that publish one, the in-network out-of-pocket maximum has a median of $7,000 and tops out at $9,850 — the ceiling on what you pay in a year for covered in-network care. The mean is $6,724, which sits below 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.

Oregon has 2 five-star Medicare Advantage PPO plans.

Of the 40 PPO plans here, 2 carry CMS's top overall rating of 5 stars and 15 rate 4 or above. That matters beyond quality: a 5-star plan can be joined at almost any point in the year through a special enrollment period, rather than only during the autumn window.

PPO plans in Oregon rate below the national average.

The 40 rated PPO plans here average 3.39 stars against a national median of 4.00. That is a reason to compare carefully rather than to rule the state out — 15 plans here still rate 4 stars or better, and the rating describes the contract, not any one plan's benefits.

Common questions

Oregon Medicare Advantage PPO plans, answered

How much do Medicare Advantage PPO plans cost in Oregon?
Of the Oregon PPO plans with a published premium, 53% 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 $7,000 across these plans.
What are the star ratings for Oregon PPO plans?
The 40 rated PPO plans in Oregon average 3.39 out of 5 stars, with 15 rating 4 or better and 2 rating a full 5. 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 Oregon?
There are 40 PPO plans from 6 carriers, sold across 24 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. 4 of them are Special Needs Plans with extra eligibility rules (see below).
Do Oregon PPO plans include prescription drug coverage?
31 of the 40 PPO 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 Oregon?
4 of the 40 PPO plans in Oregon 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.
