“What happens” is the CMS Plan Crosswalk’s verdict for the plan id; “not offered in this state” means the plan renews but no longer sells in any Iowa county. Medicare Advantage is sold county by county — choose a county above for the plans you can actually join.
The 2026 plan files carry only the Part D (drug) part of an MA-PD premium, so the change column compares drug premiums, and the 2027 premium column is the whole monthly premium (Part C + D).
