Jefferson Health Is Your Regional Hospital Network St. Mary Medical Center in Langhorne is the closest major hospital for Southampton Township residents and is part of the Jefferson Health system. Jefferson Health has relationships with most major insurers operating in Bucks County, but those relationships are plan-specific. A Jefferson-affiliated doctor may be in-network on one plan and out-of-network on another offered by the same carrier.
The Annual Enrollment Period Changes Things Every Year October 15 through December 7 is Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). During this window, you can switch Medicare Advantage plans, move between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage, or change your Part D drug plan. Plans can change their premiums, formularies, and networks each year — which means a plan that worked well in 2025 may not be the right fit in 2026.
Part D Drug Coverage: The Formulary Is Everything If you take prescription medications, the plan's formulary — its list of covered drugs — is arguably more important than the monthly premium. A plan with a lower premium but a higher tier placement for your medications can cost you significantly more out of pocket. We review formulary details for every plan we discuss.
Plan Availability Varies — Even Within the Same ZIP In Southampton Township's 18966 ZIP code, the available Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are specific to that geography. We do not offer every plan available in your area. For a complete and unbiased comparison of all plans, Medicare.gov's Plan Finder tool is the authoritative source — and it is free to use.
Independent Research Is a Legitimate Path Some Southampton Township residents prefer to compare plans themselves on Medicare.gov before talking to anyone. That approach makes complete sense. The Plan Finder tool is genuinely useful. If something in your comparison raises a question — a term you do not recognize, a cost structure that does not add up — we are available to help interpret what you are seeing.

Common questions about Medicare in Southampton Township, PA
What is the difference between a PPO and HMO Medicare Advantage plan in this area?
A Medicare Advantage HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) typically requires you to use in-network providers and get referrals for specialists. A PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) gives you more flexibility — you can see out-of-network providers, though usually at a higher cost. In a suburban area like Southampton Township, both plan types are typically available. Which structure fits you depends on how you use healthcare and whether your providers are in-network.
My spouse and I have different health situations. Can we be on different plans?
Yes. Medicare is individual coverage — there is no joint plan. You and your spouse can each choose the plan that fits your own health situation, doctors, and medications. This comes up often for couples where one partner takes multiple prescriptions and the other rarely uses healthcare. We can review options for both of you in the same conversation.
I am still working at 65. Do I need to sign up for Medicare?
It depends on your employer's size and the type of coverage you have. If your employer has 20 or more employees, your group coverage is primary and you may be able to delay Medicare Part B without penalty. If the employer has fewer than 20 employees, Medicare typically becomes primary, and delaying Part B could result in a coverage gap. This is one situation where getting it wrong has real consequences — worth discussing before your 65th birthday.
Are there plans in Southampton Township that include dental and vision?
Many Medicare Advantage plans in Bucks County include supplemental dental and vision benefits. The scope of those benefits varies considerably — some plans cover routine cleanings and exams, while others include allowances for major dental work. Original Medicare does not cover routine dental or vision. If those benefits matter to you, we factor them into any comparison we run.
