- What changed in Medicare: October 2026
Annual Enrollment opens October 15 for 2027 coverage. Many Colorado and New Mexico counties have fewer Medicare Advantage plans than in 2026. A one-time $90 Part B premium rebate reaches most people on Original Medicare in October, automatically. The Part D cap rises to $2,400, and the 2027 Part B premium is still to come in November.
