These counts cover plans with drug coverage, Special Needs Plans included, so they differ from the headline count of 41, which leaves out Special Needs Plans and includes plans without drug coverage. Braven Health has no Medicare Advantage plan with drug coverage in Camden County for 2027; Devoted Health is new to the Camden County list.
8 plans on the 2026 Camden County list end with no similar plan in the county, including Braven Medicare Freedom (PPO), Wellcare Giveback (HMO-POS), Wellcare Simple (HMO-POS). The full list is on the Camden County guide.
If your plan is not renewing: you receive a non-renewal letter in October. You can pick a new plan during the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 to December 7, 2026), and a Special Enrollment Period runs through the end of February 2027. Confirm your dates on Medicare.gov. The official Medicare & You handbook explains each option.

- New Jersey programs: Medigap rules from the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance: Medicare Supplement coverage for people under 65.
- Federal figures: 2026 Part B premium and deductible and Part D base premium ($38.99) from CMS. 2027 values are announced around November 2026.
How the figures are derived
- Headline plan counts and averages exclude Special Needs Plans, which have their own eligibility rules and are reported separately.
- "$0 Part C premium" counts plans whose Part C premium is $0. "$0 combined monthly premium for Parts C and D" counts plans whose consolidated Part C + D premium is $0 (for a plan without drug coverage, its Part C premium); our guides and blog use this second count. Out-of-pocket limits are in-network amounts. The average Part D deductible covers plans with drug coverage only.
- The 2026 to 2027 comparison counts Medicare Advantage plans with drug coverage, Special Needs Plans included, and its "$0" row uses the combined Part C + D premium, so it differs from the headline count.
- When the CMS crosswalk ends a plan with no successor but the same company files a plan with the same or a similar name under a new plan ID, we say so; members are not moved into the new ID automatically.
- We do not publish per-plan enrollment: the source does not carry it, and we never estimate plan figures.
