Banner Medicare Advantage has long-standing contracts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. Effective January 1, 2026, the Banner Medicare Advantage Prime HMO will reduce its service areas in Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz and Yuma counties. Members impacted by this change will be notified by October 1, 2025, that their plan is ending 12/31/25.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide care and coverage for our members, we will focus exclusively on Maricopa County. We will continue to offer our members a comprehensive and integrated care approach for Medicare coverage benefits, including hospitals, providers and prescriptions to address healthcare needs.
The reduction of the Banner Medicare plan’s service area in Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz and Yuma counties will not impact your current provider agreements. Banner Health will continue to offer and administer the Banner Medicare Advantage Dual (D-SNP plans) in Cochise, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, La Paz, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz and Yuma counties (our current CY2025
footprint.)
