Best 6 Medicare Apps in 2026: Feature Comparison

Introduction

The best overall medicare app here is What's covered, since its listing describes it as the official U.S. government Medicare app. This list covers 6 apps across coverage lookup, plan comparison, and insurer member tools. Picks span Android and iOS. The rankings rest on store listings, not hands-on testing.

Quick comparison table

The table has no links, and the order matches the ranking. The big split is between apps that teach you about Medicare and apps that manage a plan you already have. MyHumana, UnitedHealthcare, and My Molina require plan membership. The other three are open to anyone, though the last one needs a check first.

1. What's covered

Best for: understanding what Original Medicare Part A and Part B cover.

What's covered calls itself the official U.S. government Medicare app in its listing. It focuses on Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance).

Standout: official coverage information on your phone.

Limits: iOS only. The listing also says nothing about Advantage or Medigap comparison.

2. Medicare PlanFinder®

Best for: comparing plan costs before enrolling.

Medicare PlanFinder® compares Employer Health Plan, Medigap, and Medicare Advantage PPO and HMO options. First-timers also get educational videos.

Standout: the Medicare FactFinder, which produces a plan comparison report.

Limits: Android only. The listing doesn't say who publishes it.

3. MyHumana

Best for: current Humana members who want everything in one place.

MyHumana puts coverage details and claims in a single app.

Standout: drug pricing at local pharmacies.

Limits: it's useless without Humana coverage, and it only runs on Android.

4. UnitedHealthcare

Best for: UnitedHealthcare members managing plan benefits.

The listing calls UnitedHealthcare the official member app for managing health plan benefits and information.

Standout: an official insurer app for benefit management.

Limits: the listing is brief, so check the store page for current features. You need a plan, and it's Android only.

5. My Molina

Best for: Molina members who need an ID card and benefits on their phone.

Members sign in to My Molina with a My Molina User ID and password to see coverage, benefits, and eligibility. A message center is included too.

Standout: viewing, downloading, and sharing your ID card.

Limits: premium payments work for Marketplace plans only. It's for members and iOS only.

6. Medicare App

Best for: a cautious last pick, only for readers who check the listing first.

The only description on the Medicare App listing is "Medicare Myanmar E-commerce," which suggests it isn't about U.S. Medicare. Confirm what it does before you download it.

Standout: none verified.

Limits: iOS only. It ranks last because nothing in the listing shows it helps with U.S. Medicare.
