What to Compare When Choosing a Colorado Medicare Advantage Plan

  1. Your doctors: Confirm your primary care physician and specialists are in-network. Colorado’s major health systems may be in some plans but not others.
  2. Your prescriptions: Enter all medications into the Medicare Plan Finder to see exact drug costs per plan. Drug formularies vary widely.
  3. Monthly premium vs. copays: A $0 premium plan isn’t always the lowest cost. Calculate your estimated annual total: premium + expected copays + drug costs.
  4. Star ratings: CMS rates Colorado plans annually on a 1–5 star scale. Choose 4-star or higher when available in your Colorado county.
  5. Extra benefits: Many Colorado Medicare Advantage plans include dental cleanings, eye exams, hearing aids, and fitness memberships not covered by Original Medicare.
