Medicare in Utah: 2027 Plans by County

Let's set the stage. About 387,028 Utahns are 65 or older, roughly 11.6% of the state's 3,331,187 residents, according to the Census Bureau's 2019 to 2023 American Community Survey. That share is lower than most states because Utah is young, but the count grows every year as people age into Medicare, and the plans available to them change every fall.

Everything Senior Insurance is a Medicare agency based in Draper. We help people across Utah compare Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement (Medigap) and Part D plans. The table below is built straight from the CMS CY2027 Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan Landscape file released in September 2026, so you can see what your county actually has before anyone calls you about a plan.

2027 Medicare plan counts for all 29 Utah counties

MA means Medicare Advantage. Non-SNP plans are open to anyone with Parts A and B who lives in the county. Special needs plans (SNPs) are limited to people who qualify, for example people with both Medicare and Medicaid. Population figures are ACS 2019 to 2023 estimates.

What stands out in the 2027 Utah numbers

• The Wasatch Front has the most choice. Salt Lake, Utah and Davis counties have the same 28 plan lineup from 6 carriers: Aetna Medicare, Devoted Health, Humana, Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah, Select Health, UnitedHealthcare. Weber County has 24.
• Rural counties have fewer carriers. Carbon, Sanpete, Sevier and Uintah counties have 6 non special needs plans each, all from one carrier. Piute has 6 plans from one carrier.
• Two counties have no standard Medicare Advantage plan. Daggett and Wayne counties show special needs plans only. If you live there and do not qualify for a special needs plan, your path is Original Medicare with a Medicare Supplement and a stand-alone Part D plan.
• Out-of-pocket maximums vary by thousands. In-network limits run from $4,700 to $9,850 across the state. That number is your worst case for covered medical care in a year, so it deserves as much attention as the premium.

Here's the thing about rural Utah. When a carrier exits a county, members there can be left with very few options, and they need someone who will actually drive out and sit down with them. We have done that, and it is part of why we keep the county by county view front and center.

Stand-alone Part D plans in Utah for 2027

Utah and Idaho share one Part D region, and the same 8 stand-alone prescription drug plans are offered in every Utah county for 2027. You would pair one of these with Original Medicare and a Medicare Supplement.

The 2027 standard Part D deductible is $700 and the yearly out-of-pocket limit on covered drugs is $2,400, per the CMS CY 2027 Rate Announcement. 2027 formularies are not in our data yet, so we do not rank these plans on drug coverage until they are.
