As a reminder all Medicare Advantage Plan members will be receiving TWO ID cards for 2026; one for Medical and one for Pharmacy. The Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS) made policy changes that impact Medicare Advantage Plans. These changes allow Humana to administer medical and pharmacy benefits separately. Splitting the medical and pharmacy benefit is managed by Humana, with members not experiencing a lot of change or noticeable differences. Part of this change includes members receiving TWO ID cards and possible multiple CMS required notices.

The State Health Plan recently learned that many of the new 2026 ID Cards have a January 1, 2025, effective date.While the benefits may change, the effective date on the ID card does not always change, which is a known issue at Aetna.Regardless of the effective date, the new ID cards will work in 2026.
