Why Retirees Choose Flagler County
Flagler County — home to Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, and Bunnell — is one of Florida's fastest-growing retirement destinations. The county offers Atlantic Ocean beaches, the Intracoastal Waterway, golf communities, and a cost of living significantly below St. Johns County or South Florida.

5-Step Medicare Checklist for Moving to Flagler County
Update Your Medicare Advantage Plan
Medicare Advantage plans are county-specific. If you're moving to Flagler County from another county or state, your current plan may not be available here. You have a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) when you move, allowing you to switch to a plan available in Flagler County ZIP codes. William handles this transition at no cost.
Verify Your Doctors Are In-Network
Before finalizing your plan, confirm your new primary care physician and specialists in Flagler County are in-network. AdventHealth Palm Coast is the primary hospital system. William verifies network participation before you enroll.
Transfer Your Prescriptions
Transfer your prescriptions to a Flagler County pharmacy before your move. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan with drug coverage, verify your medications are still covered under the new plan's formulary.
Update Your Address with Medicare
Notify Medicare of your new Flagler County address at Medicare.gov or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE. Also update your address with Social Security, your Medicare plan carrier, and your Part D plan.
Establish Care with a Flagler County Doctor
Find a primary care physician in Flagler County before you need one. AdventHealth Palm Coast has a large primary care network. William can provide referrals to physicians who accept your Medicare plan.
