Sources and method
- Source: CMS Medicare Advantage enrollment data, July 2026
Built from the CMS Medicare Advantage landscape, Plan Benefit Package, star rating, and monthly enrollment files. Each plan counts once statewide, even when it is sold in many counties. Employer group plans are left out. CMS hides enrollment counts of 10 or fewer, so shares can add up to a little under 100%.
