Medicare Coverage Checkup Tool
Coverage Checkup is a tool that helps you choose a Prescription Drug plan (PDP) or Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plan (MAPD) that suits your specific needs and preferences. You must be currently enrolled in an MAPD or PDP through Via Benefits. Coverage Checkup compares your current plan to new 2026 plans. It evaluates your current policy and suggests cost-effective MAPD or PDP plans that meet your needs using the information in your Via Benefits Profile. You can check the results during the Open Enrollment Period (OEP), which starts on October 15, 2025.
To ensure Checkup Coverage accurately compares plans for you, make sure your Profile is up to date. This includes your current address and ZIP Code, health status, healthcare providers, prescription drug details, and pharmacies. To learn more about creating or updating your profile, read Create Your Profile on the Website.
If you choose to switch plans, you can quickly enroll in a new one on the website, provided the plan offers online enrollment. If not, you'll need to call us to complete your application. Read Shop and Enroll in Medicare Plans on the Website for guidance.
If you're happy with your current plan and want to keep it for next year, no action is needed–it will automatically continue.
If your current plan isn’t available on our platform, you’ll see a banner on the Home page directing you to a recommended alternative and guiding you through the enrollment process. If you prefer to keep a plan that’s no longer offered on our platform, you may do so as long as you continue paying the premium. However, if you miss a payment, your coverage will end, and you won’t be able to re-enroll in that same plan, since it’s no longer available for the current or upcoming year.
If Medicare terminates your plan, you’ll need to switch to another Medicare Advantage or Medicare drug plan. If you don’t enroll in a new plan before your current one ends, you’ll automatically be placed in Original Medicare.
