The Pecos County medicare supplement market
About 49% of Pecos County's 2,458 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. Only 13% of Pecos residents are 65 or older, so it's a younger county where fewer agents specialize in Medicare locally — exactly the gap a dedicated Texas agent fills. 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 8 Medicare Advantage plans are available in Pecos County, so a side-by-side comparison genuinely matters. Medicare Advantage enrollment figures reflect the latest CMS data (May 2026).

What makes Pecos County different: Despite being a remote ~4,765-square-mile Permian Basin frontier county (the second-largest county by area in Texas) served by a single 25-bed critical-access hospital, Pecos County has relatively high Medicare Advantage uptake for rural Texas: roughly 47-49% of its ~2,400-2,460 Medicare beneficiaries were in MA plans in 2024, led by UnitedHealthcare (Sierra Health and Life) and Humana regional PPO products, even though only 13.3% of residents are 65+ (versus 16.8% nationally) because of the young oil-and-gas and construction workforce.
