Health Alliance Plan Offers Guidance for 2027 Medicare Enrollment

TROY, MI, UNITED STATES, October 7, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Health Alliance Plan, a Medicare Advantage plan provider within the Henry Ford Health system, has announced guidance for the 2027 Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). The AEP, which runs from October 15 to December 7, allows Medicare-eligible individuals to review and select coverage for the upcoming year, ensuring their plans align with their current health and financial needs.

Health Alliance Plan offers a range of Medicare Advantage plans, including HAP Medicare Prime (PPO), HAP Medicare Superior (HMO), HAP Member Assist (PPO), HAP Medicare Complete Duals (HMO D-SNP), Henry Ford Select (HMO), and HAP Medicare Diabetes and Heart (C-SNP). These plans come with a Navigator program, a dedicated care advocate for members enrolled in many of these plans. Navigators assist with finding a primary care doctor, scheduling an Annual Wellness Visit, understanding benefits, and connecting with programs that support healthy living.

The company also highlights its award-winning Diabetes Care Connection program, a physician-supported initiative that provides education, coaching, and clinical support to help individuals better manage diabetes between office visits. According to a recent analysis, 74% of program participants saw a reduction in their A1C levels, thereby lowering their risk of diabetes-related complications.

Additionally, Health Alliance Plan offers a virtual care program for back, joint, and muscle pain through Protera Health. This program connects members with coordinated support from physicians, physical therapists, and care teams, helping them access the right care at the right time. Research published in NEJM Catalyst and Frontiers in Digital Health found that nearly 94% of participants experienced meaningful improvement in at least one health outcome through the program.

For members with qualifying skin conditions, Health Alliance Plan provides access to Zerigo Health's at-home ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy program. This dermatologist-prescribed light treatment can help reduce inflammation, improve symptoms, and slow abnormal skin cell growth. By enabling members to receive treatment at home, these programs help reduce barriers to care while maintaining connections with their healthcare teams.

Health Alliance Plan's president, Margaret Anderson, emphasized the company's commitment to supporting members throughout their healthcare journey.

Health Alliance Plan's membership grew by 46% last year, indicating a strong commitment to serving the Michigan community. As some Medicare Advantage plan providers scale back their offerings, Health Alliance Plan remains committed to Michigan for the long term. The company's integrated approach combines the strengths of a health plan and a provider system, ensuring members can count on care and coverage that work together.
