As someone dedicated to helping Florida’s seniors make confident decisions, here’s how I guide clients to the right plan.

The average monthly premium for Advantage plans in Florida dropped to $4.33 in 2025—down from $10.09 in 2024—and there are over 600 plans available statewide, including several with $0 premiums NerdWallet.
Medigap (Medicare Supplement) Options in Florida
Medigap plans help cover deductibles and coinsurance that Original Medicare (Parts A & B) doesn’t fully cover. In Florida, major insurers offering Medigap include AARP/UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Florida Blue, Humana, State Farm, and more Healthline.
Although kneading into 10 standardized plan types—like Plans F, G, and N—Plan F is being phased out for new beneficiaries, and Plan G has become the most popular for new enrollees. Plan N, favored for its lower premiums and modest copays, also remains widely used KiplingerForbes.
Side-by-Side Comparison: Advantage vs Medigap
| Feature | Medicare Advantage (Part C) | Medicare Supplement (Medigap) |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage Type | Replaces Original Medicare, often includes Part D & extra perks | Works with Original Medicare to cover out-of-pocket costs |
| Providers | Typically network-based (HMO/PPO) | Any provider nationwide that accepts Medicare |
| Premiums | Often low or $0 | Higher monthly premium, more predictable costs |
| Extras (Dental/Vision) | Often included | Requires separate Part D and extras are not included |
| Cost Structure | Copays, deductibles, annual max out-of-pocket | Low or no cost-share after premium, clear budgeting |
Choosing the best plan depends on your personal health needs, financial situation, preferred providers, and lifestyle—especially how often you travel or move around Florida.
