Other Medicare Advantage carriers in Willacy County
Major hospitals in Willacy County
Before enrolling in any UnitedHealthcare plan, confirm these are in-network for the specific plan — we check that for you:
- • Valley Baptist Medical Center - Harlingen (Cameron County, ~21 miles south; 600+ beds; primary acute-care hospital for Willacy County residents)
- • Harlingen Medical Center (Harlingen, Cameron County; general acute-care hospital)
Willacy County: Willacy County has no operating acute-care hospital of its own - the Willacy County Hospital District in Raymondville stopped running a hospital in October 1986 and now only administers an indigent health-care program, so residents drive about 21 miles south to Harlingen (Cameron County) for inpatient care. Despite this, the county posts one of the highest Medicare Advantage penetration rates in Texas at roughly 69%, ranking among the state's top MA-enrollment counties (alongside neighbors like Starr, Hidalgo, and Cameron).
