Medicare Changes Ahead for Iowans
As open enrollment begins, thousands of Iowans are reviewing their options amid significant changes.
According to the Iowa Insurance Division's Senior Health Insurance Information Program, major adjustments in plan offerings, drug coverage and provider networks are expected in 2026 after new federal drug pricing reforms and the 2025 cap on prescription co-payments.
Notably, UnitedHealthcare is canceling eight of its 10 AARP Medicare plans.
The federal health insurance program provides coverage for people 65 or older, as well as younger people with certain disabilities or health conditions.
