About 55% of Bastrop County's 19,046 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 16 Medicare Advantage plans are available in Bastrop County, so a side-by-side comparison genuinely matters. Medicare Advantage enrollment figures reflect the latest CMS data (May 2026).
What makes Bastrop County different: Bastrop County's two hospitals are both Ascension Seton facilities; the rural Ascension Seton Smithville (capped at 25 inpatient beds) earned federal Critical Access Hospital designation from CMS in August 2025, securing the county's rural emergency and inpatient services with enhanced Medicare cost-based reimbursement.
