Medicare Supplement Plans and Medicare Resources in Orange County, Florida

Orange County Medicare FAQs

How many people in Orange County use Original Medicare?

CMS counts 228,284 people with Medicare in Orange County as of June 2026. Of them, 88,077 (38.6%) use Original Medicare, the coverage a Medicare Supplement plan works with, and 140,207 are in Medicare Advantage or other health plans.

What would a hospital stay at AdventHealth Orlando 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.

Can I use my Medicare Supplement plan at both Orlando Health and AdventHealth?

Yes. Both are Medicare-certified, and Medicare Supplement plans work with any doctor or hospital in the United States that accepts Medicare. There are no networks or referrals, so you can choose between hospital systems.

Should Orange 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.

Can I keep my Medicare Supplement plan if I spend part of the year elsewhere?

Yes. A Medigap plan follows you anywhere in the United States, and Plans G and N pay their share for any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare. Premiums are based on where you live, so tell your carrier if your permanent address changes.

How many Medicare-certified hospitals are in Orange County?

CMS lists four general hospital listings: Orlando Health, AdventHealth Orlando, Orlando Health Health Central Hospital and UCF Lake Nona Hospital. Orlando Health and AdventHealth each report several campuses under one listing. The county also has the Orlando VA Medical Center, Nemours Children’s Hospital and three psychiatric hospitals.
