How to choose a plan in Dade County

With 32 options, the cheapest-looking plan is rarely the whole story. These are the questions we go through with every Dade County client:

1. Are my doctors and hospital in network? HMO plans generally only cover in-network care except emergencies. PPO plans let you go out of network for a higher cost. That matters if you see specialists outside Greenfield.
2. Are my prescriptions covered, and at what tier? Drug lists differ from plan to plan. For 2027, Part D out-of-pocket costs are capped at $2,400 a year, but your costs before that cap can vary a lot.
3. What’s my worst-case year? In-network out-of-pocket maximums in Dade County start at $2,900. A plan with a $0 premium and a high MOOP can cost more than a plan with a small premium.
4. Is a Medicare Supplement a better fit? If you travel, split time out of state, or want to see any doctor who takes Medicare, compare a Medigap plan with a standalone Part D plan.
