Why your county matters for coverage

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

  • Medicare: GeorgiaCares gives free, unbiased counseling at 1-866-552-4464. Ask which plans serve Cherokee County specifically.
  • Marketplace plans: shop through Georgia Access; enter your Cherokee County ZIP code to see what is offered.
  • Medicaid: apply through Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH).

Georgia note: Georgia Access is run as a division within the state's own insurance regulator (OCI), not a separate standalone marketplace agency the way most other state-based exchanges are structured -- one agency handles both the marketplace and general insurance complaints.
