Costco began offering Medicare Advantage plans to its members in 2026, according to announcements from the company. The plans are available through Costco's website and in-warehouse enrollment centers. Medicare Advantage is an alternative to traditional Medicare in which private insurers provide coverage for hospital, medical, and prescription drug benefits under a contract with the federal government. Costco joins other retailers, including Walmart and Amazon, that have added health insurance offerings in recent years.
