The Moore County medicare advantage market
At roughly 37% MA penetration, most of Moore County's 2,660 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. Only 11% of Moore 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.

What makes Moore County different: Despite ~21,400 residents, Moore County has only about 2,660 Medicare beneficiaries (roughly 11-12% of its population versus ~18-20% typical for Texas) because it is a young, heavily Hispanic (about 59%) meatpacking and agriculture community anchored by the JBS (former Swift & Co.) beef plant near Dumas that employs roughly 3,600 people, with a median age of about 31.9; UnitedHealthcare dominates the local Medicare Advantage market with about three-quarters of MA enrollees (roughly 770 of about 1,000 per CMS March 2026 contract data), and the locally governed Moore County Hospital District hosts a free 'Medicare for Moore' education and enrollment event in Dumas to help residents understand and select Medicare plans.
