The Wakulla County medicare supplement market
Wakulla County posts one of the highest Medicare Advantage adoption rates in Florida — roughly 66% of its 8,075 beneficiaries chose an MA plan over Original Medicare. That level of uptake usually means carriers compete hard locally, so the extra benefits (dental, OTC allowance, transportation, gym) tend to be richer than the Florida average. Capital Health Plan 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 15 Medicare Advantage plans are available in Wakulla County, so a side-by-side comparison genuinely matters. Medicare Advantage enrollment figures reflect the latest CMS data (May 2026).
