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 OR carriers: Kaiser, UnitedHealthcare, Providence, Humana.
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.
OR Medigap rule: Oregon has the Medigap birthday rule effective 2018 — within 30 days starting on your birthday each year you can switch Medigap carriers (same or lesser benefits) without medical underwriting. Oregon also has a vibrant Kaiser HMO market that uniquely competes against traditional Medigap.
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 Oregon counties through Humana, UnitedHealthcare, and Anthem/WellCare depending on your county.
Network access in your area.
When comparing Oregon Medicare plans, your hospital and doctor network matters more than the monthly premium. Major Oregon hospital systems include:
Providence Portland Medical Center, OHSU Hospital, Legacy Emanuel, Kaiser Permanente Westside, PeaceHealth Sacred Heart (Eugene).
Network participation varies by plan. SilverEdge's free advisor consultation includes a real-time hospital + doctor + drug network check before you enroll — no guesswork.
