Median out-of-pocket max

Across the 5 PPO plans in Vermont 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 $7,000, 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.

Common questions

Vermont Medicare Advantage PPO plans, answered

How much do Medicare Advantage PPO plans cost in Vermont?
Of the Vermont PPO plans with a published premium, 60% 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 $7,150 across these plans.
What are the star ratings for Vermont PPO plans?
The 5 rated PPO plans in Vermont average 4.10 out of 5 stars, with 5 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 Vermont?
There are 5 PPO plans from 1 carrier, sold across 6 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 Vermont PPO plans include prescription drug coverage?
4 of the 5 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 Vermont?
None of the PPO plans in Vermont 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.
