Why your county matters for coverage

In Florida, the health plans you can choose depend on where you live. Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are offered by service area, usually county by county, and marketplace premiums and carriers are set by area as well. Living in Lee County means the options on this page apply to you, and plans in a neighboring county may differ.

  • Medicare: Florida SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders) gives free, unbiased counseling at 1-800-963-5337. Ask which plans serve Lee County specifically.
  • Marketplace plans: shop through HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace); enter your Lee County ZIP code to see what is offered.
  • Medicaid: apply through Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA).

Florida note: Florida's insurance oversight is split between two state agencies: the Office of Insurance Regulation reviews rates and company solvency, while the Department of Financial Services' Division of Consumer Services handles individual consumer complaints and questions.
