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 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 Fayette 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 Fayette County specifically.
- Marketplace plans: shop through Georgia Access; enter your Fayette 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.
