NEW YORK - UnitedHealthcare announced its 2026 Medicare Advantage plan offerings on Wednesday, maintaining widespread coverage despite Medicare program funding reductions. The health insurer, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH), will provide Medicare Advantage plans to 94% of eligible beneficiaries next year, preserving its position as the nation's largest Medicare Advantage carrier. Most beneficiaries will continue to have access to $0 premium plans that include no copays for preventive care, primary care visits, and lab work. The company is prioritizing features that consumers value most, including dental, vision, and hearing benefits not available through Original Medicare. "We're modernizing our offerings in response to rising health care costs while preserving what matters most to our members," said Bobby Hunter, CEO of UnitedHealthcare Government Programs, according to the press release.
