The Coryell County medicare supplement market
At roughly 39% MA penetration, most of Coryell County's 9,500 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 12% of Coryell 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. Baylor Scott & White Health Plan 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 Coryell County different: Coryell County's only hospital, the 25-bed critical-access Coryell Health in Gatesville, has had no obstetrics/labor-and-delivery unit since 1991, so expecting mothers must drive roughly 45 minutes to Waco or Temple to deliver; the county's unusually young median age (~33) and low 65+ share are skewed by Fort Cavazos military families and several large TDCJ state prison units in Gatesville (including the Patrick L. O'Daniel Unit, formerly the Mountain View Unit, which houses Texas's female death row).
