The Vancouver Clinic (TVC) accepts several Medicare Advantage plans for 2026, including plans from Humana, UnitedHealthcare (HMO only), Providence, Regence, Kaiser (PPO only), and CareOregon. Non-contracted Medicare Advantage plans are not accepted at TVC — so choosing the right plan is essential if you want to keep your Vancouver Clinic doctors.
Why This Matters
The Vancouver Clinic is one of the largest and most established multi-specialty medical groups in Clark County, Washington. With locations across Vancouver, Camas, Battle Ground, and beyond, thousands of Medicare beneficiaries rely on TVC for their primary care and specialty needs.
But here's what many people don't realize: TVC does not accept all Medicare Advantage plans. If you enroll in a plan that isn't contracted with Vancouver Clinic, you may need to find new doctors or pay significantly higher out-of-network costs.
Medicare Advantage Plans Accepted at Vancouver Clinic (2026)
| Carrier | Plans Accepted | Plan Type |
|---|---|---|
| Humana | Medicare Advantage HMO, PPO & Gold Plus SNP-DE | HMO, PPO, D-SNP |
| UnitedHealthcare | Medicare Advantage AARP HMO | HMO only |
| Providence | Providence Medicare Advantage | HMO/PPO |
| Regence | Medicare BlueAdvantage HMO & MedAdvantage PPO | HMO, PPO |
| Kaiser Permanente | Added Choice, First Choice & Dual Choice PPO | PPO only |
| CareOregon | CareOregon Advantage | HMO |
⚠️ Important: Plans from Devoted Health, Wellpoint, Molina Medicare, and HealthSpring/Cigna Medicare are not currently accepted at Vancouver Clinic. Always verify directly with TVC before enrolling.
Humana & Vancouver Clinic: A Deep Partnership
Humana has the deepest relationship with The Vancouver Clinic of any Medicare carrier in Clark County. This isn't just a standard network agreement — it's a value-based care partnership focused on better health outcomes for patients.
What does this mean for you? TVC and Humana have worked together to create coordinated care programs that emphasize preventive care, chronic disease management, and keeping you healthier long-term. They've even opened joint clinic locations:
- Evergreen Place (709 NE 136th Ave, Vancouver) — A neighborhood clinic operated by TVC, accepting all Humana MA plans
- Enliven (Portland, OR) — A primary care practice designed specifically for the Medicare Advantage experience
With 18 Humana plans available in Clark County — including multiple $0 premium options — there's likely a Humana plan that fits your budget and healthcare needs while keeping your TVC doctors.
UnitedHealthcare: What's Accepted (and What's Not)
UnitedHealthcare's AARP Medicare Advantage HMO plans are accepted at Vancouver Clinic. However, it's important to note that not all UHC plan types are contracted with TVC.
If you're considering a UnitedHealthcare plan and want to continue seeing your Vancouver Clinic doctors, confirm with TVC that your specific plan is in-network before enrolling. Plan networks can change, so checking annually during enrollment periods is a good practice.
Providence, Regence, Kaiser & CareOregon at TVC
Providence Medicare Advantage
Providence Medicare Advantage plans are accepted at Vancouver Clinic. Providence has a strong presence in the Pacific Northwest, and their MA plans offer solid coverage options for Clark County residents who want access to both the Providence and TVC networks.
Regence Medicare
Regence offers two Medicare options at TVC: the Medicare BlueAdvantage HMO and the MedAdvantage PPO. The PPO option gives you more flexibility to see providers outside the network, while the HMO typically offers lower out-of-pocket costs.
Kaiser Permanente (PPO Plans Only)
This is an important distinction: Vancouver Clinic accepts Kaiser PPO plans only — specifically the Added Choice, First Choice, and Dual Choice PPO options. Kaiser's standard HMO plans use Kaiser's own facilities exclusively, so Kaiser HMO members would not use TVC for their care.
Kaiser's PPO plans give you the flexibility to see both Kaiser providers and non-Kaiser providers like TVC, making them a good option if you want access to both networks.
CareOregon Advantage
CareOregon Advantage is accepted at TVC. This is relevant for beneficiaries in the Portland-Vancouver metro area who may have cross-border care needs.
How to Choose the Right Medicare Plan for Vancouver Clinic
If keeping your Vancouver Clinic doctors is a priority, here are the key factors to consider when comparing plans:
- Verify your specific doctor is in-network. Even if TVC accepts a carrier, individual doctors may have different network participation. Check the carrier's provider directory.
- Compare premiums and out-of-pocket costs. Several TVC-compatible plans offer $0 monthly premiums. But also look at deductibles, copays, and the maximum out-of-pocket limit.
- Check your prescriptions. Make sure your medications are covered on the plan's formulary (drug list). Copays for the same drug can vary significantly between plans.
- Consider extra benefits. Many Medicare Advantage plans include dental, vision, hearing, fitness programs, and over-the-counter allowances that Original Medicare doesn't cover.
- Look at Star Ratings. CMS rates plans on a 5-star scale. Plans rated 4 stars or higher tend to offer better quality of care and may offer additional benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Medicare Advantage plans does Vancouver Clinic accept in 2026?
Vancouver Clinic accepts Medicare Advantage plans from Humana (HMO, PPO, and SNP-DE), UnitedHealthcare (AARP HMO), Providence Medicare Advantage, Regence (Medicare BlueAdvantage HMO and MedAdvantage PPO), Kaiser Permanente (PPO plans only — Added Choice, First Choice, and Dual Choice), and CareOregon Advantage. Non-contracted Medicare Advantage plans are not accepted.
Does Vancouver Clinic accept UnitedHealthcare Medicare PPO plans?
Vancouver Clinic currently accepts UnitedHealthcare AARP Medicare Advantage HMO plans. Not all UHC plan types are contracted with TVC, so it's important to verify your specific plan before enrolling. Contact TVC directly or speak with a licensed Medicare broker to confirm.
Can I use Kaiser at Vancouver Clinic?
Yes, but only with Kaiser PPO plans (Added Choice, First Choice, or Dual Choice). Kaiser's standard HMO plans use Kaiser's own facilities exclusively, so Kaiser HMO members would not receive care at TVC. The PPO plans allow you to see both Kaiser and non-Kaiser providers.
Which Medicare carrier has the best relationship with Vancouver Clinic?
Humana has the deepest partnership with Vancouver Clinic through a value-based care arrangement. TVC and Humana have opened joint clinic locations including Evergreen Place in Vancouver. Humana offers 18 Medicare plans in Clark County, many with $0 premiums.
How do I know if my Vancouver Clinic doctor accepts my specific Medicare plan?
Even if TVC is contracted with a carrier, individual physicians may have different network participation. The most reliable way to verify is to call Vancouver Clinic directly, check the carrier's online provider directory, or speak with a licensed Medicare broker who can help you confirm.
What happens if I enroll in a plan Vancouver Clinic doesn't accept?
If you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan that is not contracted with TVC, your Vancouver Clinic visits would be considered out-of-network. This typically means higher costs, higher copays, or no coverage at all depending on the plan type (HMO plans generally don't cover out-of-network care except in emergencies). You may need to switch to in-network providers or wait until the next enrollment period to change plans.
When can I change my Medicare Advantage plan?
You can change your Medicare Advantage plan during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) from October 15 to December 7 each year, or during the Open Enrollment Period (OEP) from January 1 to March 31. You may also qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) due to certain life events. A licensed Medicare broker can help you understand your options.
