Which plans does Genesis say are changing?
In its October 29 update (opens in a new tab), Genesis says Medical Mutual of Ohio Medicare Advantage will be out of network starting January 1, 2027. Genesis says Aetna Medicare Advantage and UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage will remain in network for 2027. The update also describes agreements for CareSource Medicaid and the Next Generation MyCare Ohio Plan.
Genesis's 2026–2027 accepted insurance list (opens in a new tab) gives more detail. It is a starting point, not a guarantee for every location, clinician or plan variant.
| Type of coverage | What Genesis reported for 2027 |
|---|---|
| Medical Mutual of Ohio Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO | Listed as terminated for 2027; Genesis says out of network starting January 1. |
| Aetna and UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO | Listed as accepted for 2027. Check the specific plan, location and doctors. |
| Medical Mutual of Ohio commercial | Listed as accepted under commercial coverage. That is not the same product as Medicare Advantage. |
| Original Medicare | Listed as accepted. Confirm services and any supplemental coverage separately. |
Why does a Medical Mutual Marketplace listing look different?
The insurance company's name alone does not identify your coverage. Genesis's October 29 list includes Medical Mutual of Ohio under commercial insurance, but does not name Medical Mutual in its separate Marketplace Exchange section. Not being named in that section is not, by itself, a determination about your plan.
Our Genesis Hospital record includes a different source: public insurer provider files matched to 2027 Marketplace plans. In the MedMutual file dated November 6, Genesis Hospital appears with the Marketplace plan MedMutual Bronze $8,300 ON-EX, standard plan ID 80627OH0250010. We checked that file on November 7.
The hospital's list and the insurer-file snapshot do not give the same level of detail, and either can be incomplete or change. The Marketplace listing does not prove Medicare Advantage participation or confirm that a particular Marketplace member will be covered. Ask MedMutual and Genesis about your exact plan ID, hospital, doctors and date of care before relying on it.
Which Medicare Advantage plans can I investigate instead?
Genesis's October 29 list names Aetna HMO and PPO, UnitedHealthcare HMO and PPO, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and MediGold HMO and PPO among the Medicare Advantage plans it marked accepted for 2027. It also lists other insurers. The full list is in the hospital's insurance PDF (opens in a new tab).
That does not mean every named plan is sold in your county, covers your prescriptions, or includes every Genesis doctor. We do not offer every plan listed. Use Medicare's plan comparison tool (opens in a new tab) to check your ZIP code and 2027 options; enter your prescriptions there if you want a drug-cost comparison.
For each plan you are considering, ask the insurer and Genesis about the full plan name and ID, Genesis Hospital or another location you use, and each doctor. Also ask about referrals, prior authorization and the expected cost of your care.
Who can confirm my Genesis care?
Call the number on your insurance card and Genesis's Patient Financial Advocate Team at 740-454-4335. Tell them whether your coverage is Medicare Advantage, an employer plan or an individual Marketplace plan; have the plan ID and the date of your appointment ready.
- Ask whether the exact facility and each clinician are in network on your date of care, not just whether the insurer is on a general list.
- If you are in treatment or have a procedure scheduled, ask whether a transition-of-care or continuity arrangement is available, how to request it and when it would end.
- Request written confirmation or a reference number, and check the plan's drug list, pharmacy, referrals and expected costs before making a change.
When can I change my Medicare coverage?
Medicare's annual enrollment period is October 15 through December 7, 2026. A change requested by December 7 generally starts January 1, 2027. Medicare Advantage members also have a separate January 1 through March 31 period with limited change options; a change then generally starts the first of the month after the plan receives the request.
See Medicare's enrollment-period rules (opens in a new tab) for eligibility and other special circumstances. If you are considering Original Medicare and a Medicare Supplement, check the supplement's availability, price and Medigap buying rules (opens in a new tab) before leaving a Medicare Advantage plan.
