Frequently Asked Questions

What Medicare Advantage plans are available in Tallahassee, FL?
Tallahassee residents in Leon County have access to Medicare Advantage plans from carriers including Humana, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Florida Blue, WellCare, Simply Healthcare, Molina Healthcare, and Cigna. Plan availability varies by ZIP code. Our agents compare every available plan in your area at no cost.
Is Medicare Advantage better than Original Medicare in Tallahassee?
It depends on your situation. Medicare Advantage often offers lower out-of-pocket costs and extra benefits like dental, vision, and hearing. However, it requires using a network of providers.

Our agents help you compare both options based on your doctors and prescriptions.
Can I keep my Tallahassee Memorial or Capital Regional doctors with Medicare Advantage?
Most Medicare Advantage plans in Leon County include major Tallahassee providers like Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, Capital Regional Medical Center, and HCA Florida Capital Hospital. However, network participation varies by plan and can change annually. We verify your specific doctors are in-network before recommending any plan.

You can enroll during your Initial Enrollment Period (7 months around your 65th birthday), the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 - December 7), or a Special Enrollment Period if you qualify. First-time Medicare enrollees also have a Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period from January 1 to March 31.
