The Kerr County medicare advantage market
At roughly 36% MA penetration, most of Kerr County's 14,376 Medicare beneficiaries stay on Original Medicare, frequently paired with a Medigap policy. That pattern usually signals retirees here prize provider choice and predictable out-of-pocket costs over the lower premiums of MA. The county skews older than the Texas average (28% 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.
