The Milam County medicare supplement market
About 59% of Milam County's 6,565 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. The county skews older than the Texas average (22% are 65 or older), which means heavy carrier competition and meaningful plan turnover each Annual Enrollment Period — a yearly review almost always pays off. BSW SeniorCare Advantage 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 17 Medicare Advantage plans are available in Milam County, so a side-by-side comparison genuinely matters. Medicare Advantage enrollment figures reflect the latest CMS data (May 2026).

What makes Milam County different: Milam County's economy was reshaped by the 2008 idling and later sale of Alcoa's Rockdale aluminum smelter and its lignite holdings, with the roughly 31,000-acre Sandow Lakes Ranch site now redeveloped for industry and a large Riot Platforms cryptocurrency/data-center campus. After Little River Healthcare closed its Cameron and Rockdale hospitals in December 2018, the 25-bed Critical Access Richards Memorial Hospital in Rockdale is the county's sole inpatient facility.
