Citrus County posts one of the highest Medicare Advantage adoption rates in Florida — roughly 62% of its 65,000 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 Florida average. The county skews older than the Florida average (38% are 65 or older), which means heavy carrier competition and meaningful plan turnover each Annual Enrollment Period — a yearly review almost always pays off. Humana Gold Plus H1036 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.
What makes Citrus County different: Nature Coast retiree county — 38% age 65+. Adjacent to Sumter (Villages overflow). High MA penetration + Medigap demand.

Seniors can enroll year-round through Special Enrollment Periods (SEPs) if there's a qualifying event. However, Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) from Oct 15 to Dec 7 offers broader options and is recommended for most.
