Medicare in Miami, FL

Miami-Dade has one of the largest and most competitive Medicare Advantage markets in the country. Jackson Health System, Baptist Health South Florida, HCA Florida (formerly Mercy and others), University of Miami Health, and Memorial Healthcare System (in Broward) all carry different in-network tiers across Medicare Advantage carriers.

Miami's Medicare market also has a number of Spanish-speaking-focused plans and clinics, plus local carriers like HealthSun and CarePlus that operate primarily in the South Florida market.

We're independent and licensed in Florida. We do reviews by video call across Miami, Hialeah, Coral Gables, Kendall, Doral, and the broader Miami-Dade and Broward area. We pull what's available in your specific ZIP and check it against your full provider list.

What's worth knowing about Medicare in Miami

South Florida has its own carrier mix. In addition to the national carriers (UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Aetna, Cigna), South Florida has carriers like HealthSun, CarePlus (Humana subsidiary), Florida Blue, and others that focus on the local Spanish-speaking and bilingual market. Plan availability and benefits vary widely.

Major hospital systems compete sharply. Jackson Health (the safety-net public system), Baptist Health (the largest non-profit), University of Miami Health (the academic anchor), and HCA Florida all have different Medicare Advantage carrier participation. Specialist tiers within each system vary by plan.

Bilingual review available. If Spanish is your or a family member's preferred language, we can route the review accordingly. CMS rules require materials in Spanish for Florida plans where the population threshold is met.

Publix and Navarro for Part D pharmacy. Miami's pharmacy mix includes Publix, Navarro, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Sedano's, and others. Each Part D plan picks its own preferred-pharmacy chains. Worth checking against where you actually fill.

Common questions about Medicare in Miami, FL

Are there a lot of Medicare Advantage plans available in Miami?

Yes. Miami-Dade has one of the deepest Medicare Advantage markets in the country with plans from Humana, UnitedHealthcare, CarePlus, HealthSun, Aetna, Florida Blue, Cigna, Wellcare, Devoted Health, and others. Specific plan availability, premiums, and provider networks vary by ZIP code and change every plan year.

Does my Miami Medicare Advantage plan include Jackson Health and Baptist Health?

It depends on the plan. Jackson Health and Baptist Health are both major Miami systems with overlapping geographic coverage and different in-network status across Medicare Advantage carriers. Some plans include both; some favor one. We check by plan and by specific facility.

Do you offer Medicare reviews in Spanish for Miami residents?

We can route Spanish-language reviews when needed. CMS rules require Spanish-language plan materials in Florida service areas that meet the population threshold, so the underlying plan documents are typically available in Spanish from the carriers themselves.

Do you do in-person Medicare reviews in Miami?

Not currently. Our office is in Pennsylvania and we do in-person reviews across southeastern PA. For Miami and the rest of Florida, we work with you by video call. Same plan-pull, same provider directory check, same no-pressure conversation.

Are you connected to Medicare or to a specific Florida carrier?

No. The Right Choice Agency is an independent licensed insurance agency. We are not connected with or endorsed by the United States government, the federal Medicare program, or the Florida state government. We help you compare options from the carriers we represent. For information on all your options, contact Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE.

Same review, no drive required

We pull what's available in your Miami-Dade ZIP, check your doctors and prescriptions against each plan's actual provider directory and formulary, factor in the Jackson / Baptist / UMiami / HCA network puzzle, and walk through the tradeoffs. If your current plan is the right one, we tell you to stay. That's the whole pitch.
