The Burnet County medicare advantage market
About 45% of Burnet County's 14,976 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 (24% 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 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.
