Which Medicare Plans Does Hopscotch Primary Care Accept in 2027?

Last updated October 2026

‍

The Short Answer: In 2027, Hopscotch Primary Care accepts Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans from Blue Cross NC, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and Alignment Health at all 12 of our clinics across Western North Carolina. Networks can change each year, so always confirm that Hopscotch is in your plan's network before you enroll.

‍

What does "in-network" mean?

A network is the group of doctors, hospitals, and other providers that a Medicare Advantage plan works with. When a provider is in-network, you usually pay less to see them. Some plans, especially HMOs, only cover care from in-network providers except in emergencies.

With Original Medicare, you can see any doctor who accepts Medicare, including Hopscotch. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, check that Hopscotch is in your plan’s network before enrolling. The right plan depends on your health and coverage needs.

‍

How to check if Hopscotch is in your plan's network

Before you enroll in or switch plans during Annual Enrollment (October 15 to December 7), take a few minutes to confirm your doctors are covered:

1. Look up Hopscotch Primary Care and your provider's name in your plan's online provider directory.
2. Call the member services number for the plan and ask if Hopscotch Primary Care is in-network for 2027.
3. Call your Hopscotch clinic. Our team can tell you which plans we accept.
4. If you use the Medicare Plan Finder at Medicare.gov, check each plan's provider list before you choose.

‍

What if my plan isn't on the list?

If your current or future plan is not listed, we unfortunately may not be able to see you under that plan. A trusted insurance broker can help you compare plans that Hopscotch accepts and that also meet your health and coverage needs. Call your Hopscotch care team today, and we can connect you with a trusted broker.

‍

Do you accept patients with both Medicare and Medicaid?

Yes. Hopscotch cares for many patients who have both Medicare and Medicaid, sometimes called "dual-eligible." Some Medicare Advantage plans, called Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs), are designed specifically for people with both. We currently accept D-SNPs from Blue Cross NC, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and Alignment Health at all 12 of our clinics across Western North Carolina.
