About 54% of Duval County's 195,413 Medicare beneficiaries are in Medicare Advantage — right around the national norm — so you'll find a genuine mix of competitive MA plans and Medigap options here rather than a one-sided market. Only 14% of Duval residents are 65 or older, so it's a younger county where fewer agents specialize in Medicare locally — exactly the gap a dedicated Florida agent fills. Humana Gold Plus H1036 currently leads the county by enrollment, but the lowest total-cost plan for your specific drugs and doctors is often a smaller carrier — which is why we run all of them side by side instead of pushing the biggest name. Right now roughly 30 Medicare Advantage plans are available in Duval County, so a side-by-side comparison genuinely matters. Medicare Advantage enrollment figures reflect the latest CMS data (May 2026).
What makes Duval County different: Highest veteran population per capita of any large FL county. Mayo Clinic Jacksonville is a major MA-network anchor.
