How this plan is structured
- $0 consolidated premium. A $0 or near-$0 consolidated premium does not remove the Part B premium — the standard 2026 Part B premium is $202.90 per month and still applies. See the 2026 Medicare Part B premium.
- PPO plan type. Plan-type rules determine in-network use and referrals. See how Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO plans differ.
- $6,750 in-network out-of-pocket maximum. The MOOP is the annual cap on what a member pays in-network for covered Part A and Part B services. See how the Medicare Advantage MOOP works.
- Service area = Manatee County. Medicare Advantage plans are sold by service area; moving out of the plan's service area triggers a Special Enrollment Period to switch plans. See how moving changes your Medicare options.

What H5216-452 means
CMS assigns every Medicare Advantage and Part D offering a plan identifier made of three parts. In H5216-452, the leading H marks the contract type (H = Medicare Advantage / Part C contract), the four digits 5216 are the contract number issued to the organization, and the three-digit 452 is the plan benefit package under that contract.
