Vermont Medicare Plans 2026: Costs Local Help

Medicare plan availability in Vermont is set county by county — not by state, and not by ZIP code alone. Two neighbours living twenty minutes apart can have completely different plan lists, different premiums, and different carriers. That’s why we build a separate guide for every county we serve.

Below are the 1 Vermont county guides published so far, each built from the CMS 2026 plan files and refreshed when CMS updates them. A typical Vermont county in this list has about 2 Medicare Advantage plans, roughly 2 of them at a $0 monthly premium, and together these counties are home to about 17,405 people on Medicare.

Why the county line matters this much

Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are approved by CMS for specific service areas, and those service areas follow county boundaries. A plan that is the best value in one Vermont county may not be sold at all in the county next door — and where it is sold, its provider network, drug formulary, and out-of-pocket maximum can all differ. Original Medicare works the same everywhere; everything built on top of it is local.

If you’re moving between counties, that’s also a Special Enrollment Period: a permanent move out of your plan’s service area lets you change plans outside the normal windows. It’s one of the most commonly missed opportunities we see.
