Medicare Advantage Plans in Arkansas
Medicare Advantage plans in Arkansas provide an alternative way to receive your Medicare Part A (hospital) and Part B (medical) benefits. These plans are offered by Medicare-approved private insurance companies—including FTJ Senior Insurance—and are required to cover everything that Original Medicare covers. Many plans also offer extra benefits, such as dental, vision, hearing, and wellness programs, not included in Original Medicare.
How Popular Are Medicare Advantage Plans in Arkansas?
Medicare Advantage is a popular choice for Arkansans. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), over 300,000 Arkansas residents are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan this past year, with more than 50 plan options available statewide. Whether you live in Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Jonesboro, or a smaller community, it’s important to review your options and find the plan that fits your needs.
Arkansas also offers resources for Medicare beneficiaries, including local SHIP (State Health Insurance Assistance Program) offices for free counseling and support.
Prescription Drug Coverage with Medicare Advantage
Most Medicare Advantage plans in Arkansas include prescription drug coverage (Part D). For 2026, all plans follow CMS rules, including a $35 monthly cap for covered insulin, $0 cost-sharing for adult vaccines, and a $2,100 out-of-pocket maximum for Part D expenses.
How to Enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan
The best time to enroll is during the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), which runs every year from October 15 to December 7. During this time, you can review your coverage, compare plans, and make changes for the upcoming year. Because plan benefits and prescription drug coverage can change annually, it’s important to review your options each year.
