Medicare Special Needs Plans in Arizona
Every Special Needs Plan in Arizona for 2027, from the CMS plan landscape file. You can join one only if you fit its group: Medicare and Medicaid (D-SNP), a qualifying chronic condition (C-SNP) or nursing-home-level care (I-SNP). Pick your county to see the plans sold there.
Showing all 58 plans.
D-SNPs: Medicare and Medicaid
Sorted by CMS star rating, then by how closely the plan is integrated with Arizona Medicaid, then by worst-case year. If Medicaid or the QMB program pays your Medicare cost sharing, the out-of-pocket maximum matters less than the network and how well the plan works with Medicaid.

Worst-case year = 12 × monthly plan premium + in-network maximum out-of-pocket, for covered Part A and B services. Many D-SNP members pay $0 in premiums with Extra Help. Star ratings are CMS’s 2027 overall ratings for the contract behind each plan. Plans under CMS sanction aren’t listed. How we sort
Before you enroll: check the plan’s network and drug list in the official Medicare Plan Finder, and ask the plan whether you qualify. Free one-on-one help: your State Health Insurance Assistance Program.
Questions
How many Special Needs Plans are in Arizona for 2027?
CMS lists 58: 11 D-SNPs (Medicare and Medicaid), 42 C-SNPs (chronic conditions) and 5 I-SNPs (institutional), from 15 parent companies. Not every plan is sold in every county; use the county filter.
Which D-SNPs in Arizona are integrated with Medicaid?
11 of the 11 D-SNPs are fully integrated, highly integrated or applicable integrated plans, which cover or coordinate Medicaid benefits more closely. The rest are coordination-only plans. Integrated plans are listed first among plans with the same star rating.
Do Special Needs Plans include drug coverage?
Yes. Every Special Needs Plan must include Part D drug coverage.
Can I stay in a Special Needs Plan if I no longer qualify?
Only while you still meet the plan's rules. If you lose eligibility, you may get a Special Enrollment Period to join another plan.
