The Falls County medicare supplement market
Falls County posts one of the highest Medicare Advantage adoption rates in Texas — roughly 62% of its 3,751 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 Texas average. 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 13 Medicare Advantage plans are available in Falls County, so a side-by-side comparison genuinely matters. Medicare Advantage enrollment figures reflect the latest CMS data (May 2026).

What makes Falls County different: Falls County's only hospital, Falls Community Hospital & Clinic in Marlin, is one of just a handful of Texas hospitals to adopt the federal Rural Emergency Hospital (REH) designation (effective 2023), so it now provides emergency and outpatient care without traditional inpatient beds, pushing Medicare patients needing hospitalization to Waco's Ascension Providence and Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest about 25-30 miles north.
