What's Important for 2027?
- There is a 3% Premium Increase for Medicare for the 2027 Plan Year. A chart of Medicare Premiums can be found in the Medicare Benefits Guide.
- For the 2027 plan year, members will only receive one card for their medical and prescription benefits.
- We recently launched PEIA ACCESS to make managing your health benefits easier and more convenient. PEIA ACCESS replaces the old “Manage My Benefits” system. The new site features an updated design, faster loading, and a simpler way to view your plan details online.

Important Reminders
During the Medicare open enrollment period, you will receive marketing materials from multiple plans. From time to time, you may receive calls from PEIA or Humana regarding your benefits or programs for which you are eligible. Please understand that PEIA and Humana will NEVER ask you for your bank account, credit card, or other financial information. If you receive a call purporting to be PEIA or Humana and are asked for your bank account, credit card, or other financial information, hang up and disregard the call.
PLEASE NOTE: If you enroll in another Medicare Advantage Plan, you will be disenrolled from the PEIA/Humana plan.
Humana Open Enrollment Meetings

This is a great opportunity to ask questions and learn more about your upcoming 2027 Humana plan.
