Frequently Asked Questions — Jacksonville Beach Medicare Advantage
What ZIP code does Jacksonville Beach use for Medicare plan lookups?
Jacksonville Beach is primarily served by ZIP code 32250. When using the Medicare Plan Finder at Medicare.gov or speaking with a broker, use 32250 to see the plans available in Jacksonville Beach. Plan availability is determined at the county level for Medicare Advantage, so the plans available in 32250 are the same plans available throughout Duval County.
Are there Medicare Advantage plans with $0 premiums available in Jacksonville Beach?
Many Medicare Advantage plans in Duval County offer $0 monthly premiums. However, a $0 premium plan still involves cost-sharing — copays, coinsurance, and deductibles — when you use covered services. The plan's out-of-pocket maximum caps your annual in-network cost-sharing exposure. Comparing the full cost structure of available plans, not just the premium, is important when evaluating your options.
What is the Florida SHINE program and how can it help Jacksonville Beach residents?
SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders) is Florida's free State Health Insurance Assistance Program. SHINE counselors provide unbiased Medicare counseling at no cost. Call 1-800-963-5337 to reach a SHINE counselor who can help you understand your Medicare Advantage plan, compare options during enrollment periods, and navigate the appeals process.
Can I hold a Medicare Advantage plan and a Medicare Supplement plan at the same time?
No. Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans are designed to work alongside Original Medicare, not Medicare Advantage. If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, a Medigap plan would not pay benefits for your Medicare Advantage cost-sharing. To use a Medigap plan, you would first need to return to Original Medicare.
