Capital Blue Cross

Plan year 2027 · Source: CMS · Checked October 30, 2026

What this company offers

Capital Blue Cross filed 35 Medicare Advantage plans with Medicare for 2027. All of its plans are sold in one state, Pennsylvania. The exact plans on offer change from one county to the next.

The company sells these kinds of plans:

• PPO plans (24)
• HMO plans (11)

Its PPO plans let you see doctors outside the plan's network, but you often pay more when you do. Its HMO plans keep care inside the network, and you choose a main doctor.

The company sells no special needs plans for 2027. Every plan it sells includes prescription drug coverage.

What its plans cost

Of its 35 plans, 14 charge no monthly premium at all, although you still pay your Part B premium each month, just as you would with any Medicare Advantage plan. Plan premiums across the company run from $0 to $184 a month, and every plan carries a combined premium in Medicare's file.

A $0 premium does not mean $0 care. Each plan has its own copays. Each plan also has its own yearly limit on what you pay out of pocket for covered care. Those numbers change from plan to plan. The plan pages in this section show the exact numbers for each plan, straight from Medicare's own files.

Star ratings

Medicare rates each contract from 1 to 5 stars, and this company's contracts all carry 4.0 stars for 2027. The rating belongs to the contract and not to the brand as a whole, so check the star rating on the plan page and not just the company name.

How to shop this company

Start with your county, because Medicare Advantage plans are sold by county. Then check three things before you decide: your doctors are in the plan's network, your drugs are on the plan's drug list, and the yearly cost limit fits your budget.

Some care needs approval before the plan will pay for it, so read how approval for home health works in a Medicare Advantage plan before you count on care at home. If you ever need hospice care, Medicare covers hospice under Part A in every plan — see what Medicare hospice covers, in the hospice guide.

Medicare's file does not give the year this company first sold Medicare plans, so this page states no start year rather than guessing one.

For help with a plan from this company, start with Medicare.gov: its Plan Finder lists this company's plans for your ZIP code, and each plan's page there links to the plan's own Summary of Benefits and to the company's official Medicare pages, which carry its member phone number and hours. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE at any hour. This page does not copy a phone number from an ad or a sales page.

Who this company may fit: it sells only in Pennsylvania, so it fits only people who live there.

If you already have a Medicare Advantage plan, you can switch plans or go back to Original Medicare from January 1 to March 31. A move or another big life change can open a special window of its own.
