The Annual Enrollment Period for 2027 began October 15, 2026 and runs through December 7, 2026, with coverage taking effect on January 1, 2027.

It’s time to decide which Medicare option is best for you — to stay with your current Arkansas Blue Medicare plan, switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan or return to Original Medicare. Arkansas Blue Medicare is here to help you live happy and healthy, your whole life long.

What’s most important when it comes to your health coverage?

Medicare Advantage plans give you the convenience of an all-in-one plan with budget-friendly, predictable out-of-pocket costs and additional benefits you don’t get with Original Medicare.

What makes our Medicare Advantage plans special?

• HMO plans with $0 monthly premiums, no medical deductibles and affordable copays
• Comprehensive dental, vision, hearing and prescription drug coverage
• Personalized care from providers and hospitals you know and trust

If you’re about to turn 65, have current Medicare coverage or have a loved one looking to switch, feel confident in what Blue has to offer. Your friends at Arkansas Blue Medicare are experienced, knowledgeable and here to help!

During OEP, you can keep your current health plan or explore new coverage options that better fit your needs and budget.
