An average premium includes every plan, so plenty of Michigan plans still have a $0 premium. But if you’re on a plan with a premium, check your Annual Notice of Change for 2027 increases. You still pay your Part B premium with any Medicare Advantage plan. For the national picture, see our guide to Medicare Advantage plans 2027.

Michigan's Blue Plans and HAP for 2027

Two Michigan-based organizations dominate the state’s Medicare Advantage market:

✔

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan sells Medicare Plus Blue PPO plans, and its HMO affiliate Blue Care Network sells BCN Advantage plans. Both contracts earned 4.5 stars for 2027, and BCBS Michigan was one of the few carriers to grow its share of members in 4+ star plans. See our guide to Medicare Plus Blue.

✔

HAP, part of Henry Ford Health, earned 4 stars for 2027 on its main contract, with 3.5 stars on its Alliance Health and Life contract. HAP’s Medicare Advantage enrollment grew 45.8% over the past year, and it has expanded its network across the entire Lower Peninsula. See our guide to HAP Medicare Advantage plans.

Current Blue and HAP members should still read their Annual Notice of Change, since benefits, copays and service areas can change from year to year.
