Start with your Hattiesburg address
Hattiesburg crosses the Forrest and Lamar county line. Confirm the county for your permanent address before comparing plans, whether your routine takes you through Midtown, Oak Grove or Highway 98 West.
Use the plan’s service area and eligibility rules to check which options you can join. Review 2027 plan documents when available; a current-year listing does not confirm next year’s benefits or network.
Care across the Pine Belt
Include each clinic and specialist in your review, especially when appointments take you beyond Hattiesburg. List the facility and the clinician separately. Ask about referrals, transportation and follow-up visits, not just the hospital name.
What to compare for 2027
| Review | Questions to ask |
|---|---|
| Doctors and hospitals | Are your exact providers and locations in the plan’s network? |
| Prescriptions | Are each drug, dose and pharmacy included? What restrictions apply? |
| Total cost | What are the premiums, deductibles, copays and medical out-of-pocket limits? |
| Travel and access | How does the plan cover care away from home, referrals and prior authorization? |
| Additional benefits | What eligibility conditions, allowances and provider restrictions apply? |
Compare represented Medicare Advantage, Part D and Medicare Supplement options against the same checklist. A benefit advertised for one plan may not be offered by another. Ask for the Summary of Benefits, Evidence of Coverage, provider directory and formulary.
Prescription costs for 2027
CMS sets the 2027 standard Part D deductible at $700 and the annual out-of-pocket threshold at $2,400. See CMS Table V-2.
Ask for a full-year prescription estimate using your exact medications and pharmacy. Check what spending counts toward the Part D threshold; premiums and noncovered drugs require separate budgeting. A medical out-of-pocket maximum and a drug threshold are different limits.
Medicare Supplement timing
The six-month Medigap open enrollment period starts when you are 65 or older and enrolled in Part B. Outside it, ask about guaranteed-issue rights and underwriting. Medicare explains when to buy Medigap.
Before dropping existing coverage, confirm eligibility, acceptance and the new effective date. Check current state protections with your state insurance department. A Medicare Advantage election period does not by itself guarantee that you can buy Medigap.
Enrollment dates for 2027 coverage
Annual Enrollment runs October 15 through December 7, 2026, for January 1, 2027 coverage. Review your Annual Notice of Change. Check Medicare enrollment guidance.
Other enrollment opportunities depend on your situation. Before submitting an application, confirm the enrollment period you qualify for, its deadline and your coverage start date.
Help paying for coverage
Ask about Medicare Savings Programs and Extra Help. Eligibility depends on current rules and your circumstances; do not use last year’s income figures to rule yourself out. Check current program information.
Prepare for your plan review
- Your permanent address, county and current coverage.
- Names and locations of doctors, hospitals and pharmacies.
- Prescription names, strengths and how often you take them.
- Medicare Part A and Part B effective dates.
- Employer, retiree, VA, TRICARE or Medicaid coverage to consider.
- Travel plans, budget and questions about care access.
Use a secure channel for personal information. Do not send your Medicare number through unsecured email or a public form.
