Medicare Advantage PPO plans in Washington
There are 31 Medicare Advantage PPO plans in Washington from 7 carriers, averaging 4.11 out of 5 stars across the 27 plans CMS has rated. 54% of those with a published premium charge $0 a month (17 of 31); beyond the premium, what separates them is network, drug coverage and how much you could owe in a bad year.

Of the 31 PPO plans here, 2 carry CMS's top overall rating of 5 stars and 21 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.
