Medicare Coverage Options in Orange County

Orange County residents have access to extensive Medicare coverage options, including Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Supplement insurance, and prescription drug coverage.

Medicare Advantage Plans in Orange County

Medicare Advantage plans are widely available throughout the Orlando metro area, with numerous HMO and PPO options from leading insurance carriers:

• UnitedHealthcare
• Humana
• Aetna
• WellCare
• Florida Blue Medicare
• Devoted Health

Medicare Advantage plans in Orange County frequently include extra benefits beyond Original Medicare coverage, such as dental care, vision coverage, hearing aids, gym memberships, over-the-counter allowances, and Part B premium reductions.

Important for Orlando metro residents: Provider networks vary significantly between plans. Your doctors at AdventHealth or Orlando Health may be covered by one plan but not another. As your experienced broker, we verify all your providers are in-network before you enroll.

Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Insurance

If you prefer the flexibility to see any doctor in the United States who accepts Medicare—without network restrictions or referral requirements—a Medicare Supplement policy paired with Original Medicare may be your ideal choice.

Popular Medigap plans for Orange County residents include:

• Plan G: Comprehensive coverage with predictable costs—you only pay the annual Part B deductible
• Plan N: Similar coverage to Plan G with lower premiums but small copays for doctor and emergency room visits

Medigap policies work alongside Original Medicare to cover your out-of-pocket expenses like deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. This provides budget predictability and complete provider freedom—especially valuable if you travel frequently or split time between Orlando and another location.

Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans

If you choose Original Medicare with a Medigap policy, you’ll need standalone prescription drug coverage through a Part D plan. Orange County residents have access to numerous Part D plans from carriers including:

• Humana
• WellCare
• SilverScript

Selecting the right Part D plan requires careful analysis of:

• Whether your specific medications are covered on the plan’s formulary
• Which tier each medication is placed in (which affects your cost)
• Whether your preferred Orlando metro pharmacies are in the plan’s network
• Total annual costs including premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses

As an experienced Medicare broker, we analyze all these factors to identify the Part D plan with the lowest total cost for your specific medication list.

Understanding Medicare Costs in Orange County

• Medicare Part B premium: $202.90/month (standard rate, higher for high-income earners)
• Medicare Advantage premiums: Range from $0 to $100+/month depending on plan benefits and coverage
• Medigap premiums: Vary by age, gender, tobacco use, and carrier, typically $140-$240+/month

Medicare Enrollment Periods for Orange County Residents

Understanding when you can enroll in or modify your Medicare coverage is crucial:

Initial Enrollment Period (IEP)

Your Initial Enrollment Period spans 7 months—beginning 3 months before your 65th birthday, including your birthday month, and ending 3 months after. This is when you first enroll in Medicare Parts A, B, and D, and choose between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement coverage.

Annual Enrollment Period (AEP)

October 15 – December 7 each year. During this period, Orange County residents can switch from Original Medicare to Medicare Advantage (or vice versa), change Medicare Advantage plans, or switch Part D plans. Changes become effective January 1.

Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period

January 1 – March 31 each year. If you’re currently enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, you can switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan or return to Original Medicare during this window.

Common Medicare Questions from Orlando Metro Residents

Do I need to change my Medicare plan if I move within Orange County?

If you’re relocating within Orange County (for example, from Orlando to Winter Park), you typically don’t need to change your Medicare coverage. However, it’s wise to verify that your plan’s provider network includes doctors and hospitals near your new address.

What if my doctor at AdventHealth or Orlando Health doesn’t accept my Medicare Advantage plan?

This is a common concern. If your preferred Orlando metro doctor isn’t in your Medicare Advantage plan’s network, you have several options: switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan during the Annual Enrollment Period, switch to Original Medicare with a Medigap policy (which allows you to see any Medicare-accepting doctor), or find a new doctor within your plan’s network.

Can I keep my Orlando healthcare providers with Medicare?

Yes, but your plan choice matters. With Original Medicare plus a Medigap policy, you can see any doctor at any hospital that accepts Medicare, including all major Orange County healthcare facilities. With Medicare Advantage, you must verify that specific doctors and hospitals are in your plan’s network.

How do I choose the right Medicare plan in the Orlando metro area?

The “right” Medicare plan is unique to each person—it depends on your health conditions, medications, preferred doctors, budget, and lifestyle. That’s exactly what an experienced Medicare broker helps you determine. During your free consultation, we’ll review your specific situation and compare all available Orange County options.
