St. Augustine and St. Johns County residents have access to a wide range of Medicare plans for 2026. William Gray compares every Medicare Advantage, Medigap, and Part D option available in your ZIP code — verifying your doctors are in-network and your medications are covered. Free service.
Medicare beneficiaries in St. Augustine have three main coverage paths: Medicare Advantage (Part C), Medicare Supplement (Medigap), and standalone Part D drug plans paired with Original Medicare. Each path has distinct tradeoffs in terms of cost, flexibility, and coverage depth.
Medicare Advantage plans in St. Augustine typically offer $0 or low monthly premiums and include extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, and gym memberships. The tradeoff is network restrictions — you generally need to use in-network providers like Flagler Hospital and UF Health St. Johns — and prior authorization requirements for specialist visits and procedures.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans work alongside Original Medicare to cover most out-of-pocket costs. Plan G is the most comprehensive option available to new Medicare enrollees in St. Augustine, covering everything except the Part B deductible. Medigap plans have no network restrictions — you can see any doctor nationwide who accepts Medicare.
William compares all available plans in your St. Augustine ZIP code and recommends the best fit based on your specific doctors, medications, health needs, and budget. The right plan for your neighbor may not be the right plan for you.
