Medicare Supplement Plans in Leon County
Of the 53,686 people with Medicare in Leon County, 21,177 (39.4%) use Original Medicare, according to CMS enrollment data for June 2026. That is the group that can add a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan. The share is lower than the statewide figure of 42.9%. Another 9,618 Leon County residents have a stand-alone Part D drug plan, the type of drug coverage people with a Medigap plan use.
What Matters for Leon County Residents
- A regional medical hub: Tallahassee hospitals and specialists serve patients from across the area, and some residents also travel to Gainesville or Georgia for care. A Medicare Supplement plan pays the same way everywhere, with no networks to check.
- Specialists without referrals: Medigap needs no referrals, so you can see any specialist who accepts Medicare. Ask whether the office accepts Medicare assignment, which caps what it can charge you.
- Plan N and excess charges: Plan N does not pay Part B excess charges, which apply only when a doctor does not accept Medicare assignment. Ask your doctors whether they accept assignment before comparing Plan N with Plan G.
- Medicaid and Medicare Savings Programs: CMS counts 7,074 Leon County residents with both Medicare and Medicaid. People who qualify for Medicaid usually do not need a Medigap plan, and SHINE counselors can check whether you qualify for a Medicare Savings Program.

What Care in Leon County Costs With and Without a Medigap Plan
Medicare charges the same deductibles and coinsurance at every hospital and nursing home that accepts it, so the amounts below apply whether you use Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, HCA Florida Capital Hospital or any other Medicare-certified hospital. The table shows what you would pay in 2026 for medical care, before any plan premium.
| Coverage | Routine year 6 doctor visits and $800 in tests | 4-day stay at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare plus 8 doctor visits and $1,500 in tests | Hospital stay and rehab the same stay plus 25 days at a Leon County nursing home |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original Medicare only | $566 | $2,502 | $3,587 |
| Plan G | $283 | $283 | $283 |
| Plan N | $403 | $443 | $443 |
| High-Deductible Plan G | $566 | $2,502 | $2,950 |
| Plan K | $425 | $1,393 | $1,935 |
| Plan L | $354 | $838 | $1,109 |
In the hospital stay and rehab example, Original Medicare alone leaves you with $3,587: the $1,736 Part A deductible, $217 a day for rehab days 21 to 25, the $283 Part B deductible and 20% of the remaining Part B charges. Plan G leaves only the $283 Part B deductible. Plan N adds up to $20 per office visit. High-Deductible Plan G stops at its $2,950 deductible.
Examples assume Medicare-approved amounts of $150 per doctor visit and that every provider accepts Medicare assignment. Plan K and Plan L have yearly out-of-pocket limits of $8,000 and $4,000 in 2026. Premiums vary by carrier, age and ZIP code and are not included.

Each hospital stay is 4 days, each doctor visit is $150 and tests are included in each example. Assumes your doctors accept Medicare assignment. The Part B premium, $202.90 a month for most people, is the same with or without a plan and is not shown. Drug, dental, vision and hearing costs are not included.

Leon County Medicare FAQs
How many people in Leon County use Original Medicare?
CMS counts 53,686 people with Medicare in Leon County as of June 2026. Of them, 21,177 (39.4%) use Original Medicare, the coverage a Medicare Supplement plan works with, and 32,509 are in Medicare Advantage or other health plans.
What would a hospital stay at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare cost me with Plan G?
For a 4-day stay in 2026, Original Medicare alone leaves you with the $1,736 Part A deductible. Plan G pays it, along with your Part B coinsurance, so your only Medicare cost for the year is the $283 Part B deductible. The amounts are the same at every hospital that accepts Medicare.
Does a Medicare Supplement plan work at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare?
Yes. CMS lists it as a Medicare-certified hospital, and Medicare Supplement plans work with any doctor or hospital in the United States that accepts Medicare. There are no networks or referrals.
Should Leon County residents choose Plan G or Plan N?
Both cover hospital costs in full. Plan N charges up to $20 for some office visits and up to $50 for ER visits that do not lead to an admission, and it does not cover Part B excess charges. If your doctors accept Medicare assignment, excess charges do not apply. Use the calculator on this page with your own quotes to compare.
When should I buy a Medicare Supplement plan?
The best time is usually your six-month Medigap open enrollment period, which starts the month you are 65 or older and enrolled in Part B. During it, carriers cannot deny you or charge more because of your health.
Will my Medicare Supplement plan work if I see specialists in Gainesville or Georgia?
Yes. Medicare Supplement plans work with any doctor or hospital in the United States that accepts Medicare, so the same plan covers care in Tallahassee, Gainesville, Georgia or anywhere else.
How many Medicare-certified hospitals are in Leon County?
CMS lists two general hospitals, both in Tallahassee: Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, with 3 of 5 stars, and HCA Florida Capital Hospital, with 2 stars. The county also has Eastside Psychiatric Hospital, a rehabilitation hospital and a long-term care hospital.
