Medicare options in Newtown, Bucks County
Newtown Borough and Newtown Township are among the more affluent communities in Bucks County — places where people tend to be thorough researchers and have high expectations for their healthcare. Medicare doesn't automatically match those expectations. The plan that looks cleanest in a brochure can perform very differently once you're actually using it. Some Newtown residents prefer to evaluate Medicare options entirely on their own, using Medicare.gov's Plan Finder and the official CMS resources. Others want a licensed independent agent who can cut through the complexity. The Right Choice Agency serves both. We're an independent Medicare agency — not captive to any single carrier — representing Humana, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, WellCare, Cigna, Devoted Health, Molina, Mutual of Omaha, Ameritas, Wellabe, and growing. Plan availability varies by ZIP code and county. We do not offer every plan available in your area. We are not connected with or endorsed by the U.S. government or the federal Medicare program.
Two ways to handle this — pick the one that fits you

Two hospital systems, two different network considerations Newtown residents often use both St. Mary Medical Center in Langhorne and facilities closer to Doylestown. A Medicare Advantage plan might cover one system but not the other. If you have established relationships with physicians in both networks, that's a detail worth mapping out before choosing a plan.
Medigap plans offer more geographic flexibility If you travel frequently or spend time in multiple states, a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan paired with Original Medicare tends to travel with you. Advantage plans are typically network-bound. For Newtown residents who are active and move around, that flexibility may matter.
High-income surcharges — IRMAA — affect some Medicare enrollees If your modified adjusted gross income from two years prior exceeds certain thresholds, you'll pay a Medicare surcharge called IRMAA on top of your standard Part B and Part D premiums. This surprises some people in higher-income communities. It's worth knowing before you build a budget around Medicare costs.
Plan benefits change every year on January 1 Medicare Advantage and Part D plans can change their premiums, cost-sharing, formularies, and networks every plan year. A plan that worked well this year may be meaningfully different next year. Annual review during the October 15 – December 7 enrollment window is not optional — it's smart practice.

Common questions about Medicare in Newtown, PA
What Medicare Advantage plans are available in Newtown, PA 18940?
ZIP code 18940 has access to multiple Medicare Advantage options from several carriers. The complete list is available at Medicare.gov or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE. We do not represent every plan in your area, but we can walk through the carriers we work with and help you understand what fits your situation.
I use physicians at both St. Mary and another system — can one plan cover both?
Some broader-network Medicare Advantage plans in Bucks County include multiple hospital systems. Others are more selective. The only reliable way to confirm is to check your specific physicians against a specific plan's provider directory. We can help you do that for any plan we represent.
What is the difference between Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) works alongside Original Medicare to cover cost-sharing gaps — deductibles, copays, coinsurance. You generally pay a monthly premium but face fewer surprises at the point of care. Medicare Advantage replaces Original Medicare with a private plan that may have lower premiums but network restrictions and different cost-sharing structures. Neither is objectively better; it depends on your health use patterns and financial priorities.
What is IRMAA and does it affect everyone?
IRMAA (Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount) is a surcharge added to Medicare Part B and Part D premiums for individuals whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholds. It does not affect everyone — only those above the income limits set by CMS. If you had higher income two years ago, it's worth checking whether IRMAA applies to your situation.
