The Uvalde County medicare advantage market
About 58% of Uvalde County's 5,807 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 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 Uvalde County, so a side-by-side comparison genuinely matters. Medicare Advantage enrollment figures reflect the latest CMS data (May 2026).
