Is Wellcare Assist (HMO-POS) (H0908-004) ending in 2027?
Yes. Wellcare won't offer Wellcare Assist (HMO-POS) in 2027. It ends December 31, 2026, for at least 689 members in 88 counties in Ohio.
What this means for you
What happens when your plan ends
Wellcare Assist (HMO-POS) will not exist in 2027. If you don't pick a new plan, you'll be moved to Original Medicare on January 1, 2027 with no drug coverage. You can choose a new plan during Annual Enrollment (October 15 – December 7, 2026). Because your plan is ending, you also get a Special Enrollment Period through February 28, 2027, and the right to buy certain Medigap policies with no health questions.
