About 55% of Anderson County's 11,511 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. UnitedHealthcare / AARP 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 21 Medicare Advantage plans are available in Anderson County, so a side-by-side comparison genuinely matters. Medicare Advantage enrollment figures reflect the latest CMS data (May 2026).
What makes Anderson County different: Anderson County hosts one of the densest concentrations of Texas Department of Criminal Justice prisons in the state — the Coffield, Beto, Michael, and Powledge units plus the Gurney transfer facility sit on shared land west of the county seat, Palestine, making corrections a defining local employer.
