Why use this tool

Carriers change their included dental benefits every year. This tool puts a plan’s 2026 and 2027 dental benefits side by side and shows exactly what changed, so you can see which plans got richer or leaner before client conversations during the Annual Enrollment Period.

For education only. Built from public CMS data. It is not plan documentation and is not a source for enrollment or coverage decisions. Confirm details with the carrier.

Search by plan ID or name, or narrow by state and carrier. All individual-market Medicare Advantage plans, including SNPs, for CY2026 and CY2027. The comparison covers the dental benefits included in the plan at no extra premium; where a plan also sells a dental buy-up (rider), that is noted but not detailed.

Search

Plan-ID matches are listed first. Both the CY2026 and CY2027 plan names are searched, so renamed plans are found under either name.

Location (optional)

Leave blank to search nationwide.
How location works. A ZIP code narrows results to its state; plans are listed when their CMS-filed service area includes that state (or they reported members there in September 2026). Where a plan ID’s dental benefits differ by area, you will be asked which area applies and shown the counties each version serves. ZIP-to-county matching is not available, so within a state check the county list against the ZIP. Plans with no filed service area and no reported members are included in a state when other plans on the same CMS contract (H-number) serve it. A plan-ID search always runs nationwide.
