What this means for you
What happens when your plan ends
Aetna Medicare Dual Care (PPO D-SNP) 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).
