ROCHESTER, N.Y. — People who found out that their insurers are changing or dropping their Medicare Advantage plans got to ask for help on Thursday.
Lifespan hosted a Medicare Open Enrollment Fair at the Al Sigl Community of Agencies on Elmwood Avenue. The fair helped older adults or their caregivers to learn about 2026 healthcare plans by asking representatives of Excellus, MVP, Aetna, Humana, Wellcare, and EPIC.
As News10NBC has covered, several insurers are eliminating Medicare Advantage plans for 2026 because of rising healthcare costs and decreasing government reimbursement rates. That’s left some older adults in the Rochester community scrambling to find other options.
“The plan we had last year is no longer and it’s a big decision. We have to do a lot of thinking about it,” said Elsie Menz, whose Medicare Advantage plan was dropped.
