The Taylor County medicare supplement market
About 55% of Taylor County's 5,365 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. Humana 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 12 Medicare Advantage plans are available in Taylor County, so a side-by-side comparison genuinely matters. Medicare Advantage enrollment figures reflect the latest CMS data (May 2026).

What makes Taylor County different: Taylor County's economy was destabilized when Georgia-Pacific announced (September 18, 2023) the permanent closure of its Foley Cellulose (Buckeye) pulp mill in Perry — the county's largest private employer for decades, costing roughly 525 jobs and about $9.9 million in annual local tax revenue — just weeks after Hurricane Idalia made landfall about 20 miles south of Perry on August 30, 2023, leaving a rural Medicare population with a low median household income (~$49,000) reliant on a single critical-access 48-bed hospital and a Medicare Advantage market split roughly evenly with Original Medicare (about 53% MA penetration).
