Which Medicare Advantage plans does Glens Falls Hospital accept?

Glens Falls's list, 2026

Glens Falls Hospital in Glens Falls is part of Albany Med Health System, which publishes one accepted-insurance list for its hospitals (Albany Medical Center (Albany), Saratoga Hospital (Saratoga Springs), Glens Falls Hospital, Columbia Memorial (Hudson), Malta Med Emergent Care). Glens Falls Hospital serves Warren and Washington counties and the northern end of Saratoga County. It joined Albany Med Health System, so the system's list applies, and its own page names United Healthcare alongside the system's carriers. Plans are filed by county, so a Queensbury resident and a Fort Edward resident see different plan lists even though they use the same hospital; both lists are below.

What the list says about Medicare Advantage carriers, read September 16, 2026:

• Listed: CDPHP; MVP Health Care; Highmark Blue Shield of Northeastern NY; UnitedHealthcare (Albany Medical Center: all UHC products except Medicaid, effective Dec 15, 2025; Saratoga and Glens Falls also list United Healthcare); Fidelis Care; Empire BlueCross BlueShield (Anthem); Hamaspik Medicare Select; Nascentia Health Plus.
• Listed, not all plans: Aetna (listed with 'does not participate in all plans'); EmblemHealth (listed with 'does not participate in all plans'). The hospital itself adds that note, so the specific plan matters more than usual here.
• Not accepted: Humana (non-emergency services not accepted after June 30, 2024, per Saratoga Hospital's list).
• Not on the list: Wellcare, Trinity Health Plan of New York, VNS Health. Absent from the page as read, which is a reason to verify with the plan and the hospital, not proof of exclusion.

Source: Accepted insurance (Albany Med Health System), read September 16, 2026. The list covers hospital facility services; hospital-based physician groups (anesthesia, radiology, pathology, emergency) bill separately and may participate in different plans, and a physician office's own insurance list is not the hospital's.

Every 2026 Medicare Advantage plan sold in Warren County, against Glens Falls's list

46 plans, from the CMS Medicare Advantage and Part D landscape file, contract year 2026, read September 21, 2026. Each plan is placed under the hospital's wording for its carrier: 19 listed, 9 listed with the "not all plans" note, 5 from a carrier the hospital states it does not accept, 13 from carriers not on the list. The last column shows which plans I can enroll you in; the rest are listed so the field is complete. Premiums, copays, extras and star ratings are left off on purpose; they are in each plan's own documents and on medicare.gov/plan-compare.

"Listed" means the plan's carrier appears on the hospital's list; it does not mean this plan's network includes Glens Falls Hospital. "Not accepted" is the hospital's own statement about the carrier, with its date. "Not on the list" means the carrier is absent from the page as read, which is unverified, not excluded. Plans are filed by county, so this is the Warren County list; a plan sold here may not be sold in the next county. Special-needs plans (D-SNP, C-SNP, I-SNP) are only for people who qualify.

Confirm before you rely on any of it

Two checks, both by name, before you enroll or stay in a plan because of Glens Falls: look up Glens Falls Hospital in the plan's own provider directory (not the carrier's general one), and call the hospital's billing office with the exact plan name. Then do the same for each doctor you see, because a hospital contract and a physician contract are separate. Lists change between enrollment periods; the Humana changes in this region happened in June 2024 and January 2025, not on January 1. I re-read the hospital's page each October before the Annual Enrollment Period and update this page; the dates above say when it was last read.

The route that needs no list

Original Medicare has no network, and Glens Falls Hospital participates in it. Paired with a Medigap policy, which in New York can be bought in any month without health questions, it covers Glens Falls, the other Capital Region hospitals and hospitals anywhere in the country; it costs more per month than a $0-premium Advantage plan and needs a separate Part D plan. If you are in an Advantage plan today, leaving it for Original Medicare happens only in an enrollment period, and the Medigap and Part D start dates have to line up with the disenrollment; the enrollment check shows which window is open. The trade-offs are in Advantage vs Medigap in New York; current Albany-region Medigap premiums are on the rates page.
