Your three plan paths.
Medicare Advantage (MA / MAPD)
An all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare. Bundles hospital, medical, and (usually) drug coverage into a single plan with a network. Often \$0 monthly premium plus extras like dental, vision, hearing, and OTC allowance.
Top NV carriers: Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, Aetna.
Original Medicare + Medigap + Part D
Original Medicare (Parts A + B) covers hospital + doctor. A Medigap (Supplement) plan covers most of what Medicare doesn't. A standalone Part D drug plan covers prescriptions. Maximum flexibility, larger networks, higher monthly cost.
NV Medigap rule: Nevada adopted the Medigap birthday rule effective 2022 — within 60 days starting on your birthday each year you may switch Medigap carriers (same plan letter or a lesser-benefit letter) without medical underwriting. This is one of the most consumer-friendly Medigap rules in the country.
Part D standalone
If you stay on Original Medicare without Medigap, or have Medigap and need drug coverage, a standalone Part D plan covers prescriptions only. New for 2026: \$2,000 annual out-of-pocket cap on covered Part D drugs — a big deal for high-cost specialty medications.
D-SNP (Dual Special Needs)
If you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, a D-SNP plan combines the two and typically adds significant extras. Available in most Nevada counties through Humana, UnitedHealthcare, and Anthem/WellCare depending on your county.
Network access in your area.
When comparing Nevada Medicare plans, your hospital and doctor network matters more than the monthly premium. Major Nevada hospital systems include:
University Medical Center (Las Vegas), Sunrise Hospital, Renown Regional Medical Center (Reno), Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center, Carson Tahoe Regional.
Network participation varies by plan. SilverEdge's free advisor consultation includes a real-time hospital + doctor + drug network check before you enroll — no guesswork.
