A plan can be listed because it was renumbered or replaced, not only because a company is leaving the county. When the same company keeps other plans there, members are usually moved to a replacement plan. Your plan should send you a notice, and Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 to December 7) is when you can compare and switch. “People enrolled” is the number enrolled in that plan today (CMS hides counts of 10 or fewer).

Why your county matters for coverage

In Alabama, 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 Greene County means the options on this page apply to you, and plans in a neighboring county may differ.

  • Medicare: Alabama SHIP (Alabama Department of Senior Services) gives free, unbiased counseling at 1-800-243-5463. Ask which plans serve Greene County specifically.
  • Marketplace plans: shop through HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace); enter your Greene County ZIP code to see what is offered.
  • Medicaid: apply through Alabama Medicaid Agency.

Alabama note: Alabama has not adopted the ACA's Medicaid expansion, which is a meaningfully different situation from most of the other states covered on this site -- an Alabama adult without children generally can't qualify for Medicaid on income alone the way they could in an expansion state, regardless of how low that income is.
