Medicare Supplement Plans in Brevard County

Of the 183,469 people with Medicare in Brevard County, 90,060 (49.1%) 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 higher than the statewide figure of 42.9%. Another 54,467 Brevard County residents have a stand-alone Part D drug plan, the type of drug coverage people with a Medigap plan use.

What Matters for Brevard County Residents

  • After the Rockledge closure: Rockledge Hospital closed in April 2025, so Rockledge and Cocoa residents now use other Brevard hospitals. Medigap has no networks, so the same plan works at Health First, Parrish and Orlando Health hospitals alike.
  • Specialists in Orlando: Some Brevard residents travel to Orlando for specialty care. Medicare Supplement plans work with any provider in the United States that accepts Medicare, without referrals.
  • 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 19,908 Brevard 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 Brevard 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 Holmes Regional Medical Center, Viera Hospital, Parrish Medical Center or any other Medicare-certified hospital in the county. The table shows what you would pay in 2026 for medical care, before any plan premium.

CoverageRoutine year
6 doctor visits and $800 in tests
4-day stay at Holmes Regional Medical Center
plus 8 doctor visits and $1,500 in tests
Hospital stay and rehab
the same stay plus 25 days at a Brevard 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.

Rehab days 1 to 20 cost nothing under Medicare. Days 21 to 100 cost $217 a day in 2026 unless a plan pays it.

Based on 2026 Medicare amounts: a $1,736 hospital deductible per stay, the $283 Part B deductible, 20% of doctor and outpatient bills and $217 a day for rehab days 21 to 100. 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. Estimates are for education; your costs depend on your care.

Brevard County Medicare FAQs

How many people in Brevard County use Original Medicare?

CMS counts 183,469 people with Medicare in Brevard County as of June 2026. Of them, 90,060 (49.1%) use Original Medicare, the coverage a Medicare Supplement plan works with, and 93,409 are in Medicare Advantage or other health plans.

What would a hospital stay at Holmes Regional Medical Center 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.

Is Rockledge Hospital still open?

No. Orlando Health closed Rockledge Hospital and its emergency room in April 2025. Residents of Rockledge and Cocoa now use the other Brevard hospitals, such as Cape Canaveral Hospital, Viera Hospital and Holmes Regional Medical Center.

Should Brevard 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.

Where can I get free Medicare counseling in Brevard County?

SHINE offers free, unbiased Medicare counseling through Senior Resource Alliance, the Area Agency on Aging for Brevard, Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. Call SHINE at 1-800-963-5337 or Senior Resource Alliance at (407) 514-1800.
