A plan can be listed because it was renumbered or replaced, not only because a company is leaving the county. When the same company keeps other plans there, members are usually moved to a replacement plan. Your plan should send you a notice, and Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 to December 7) is when you can compare and switch. “People enrolled” is the number enrolled in that plan today (CMS hides counts of 10 or fewer).

Why your county matters for coverage
In Nebraska, the health plans you can choose depend on where you live. Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are offered by service area, usually county by county, and marketplace premiums and carriers are set by area as well. Living in Holt County means the options on this page apply to you, and plans in a neighboring county may differ.
- Medicare: Nebraska SHIP (State Health Insurance Assistance Program) gives free, unbiased counseling at (800) 234-7119. Ask which plans serve Holt County specifically.
- Marketplace plans: shop through HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace); enter your Holt County ZIP code to see what is offered.
- Medicaid: apply through Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
Nebraska note: Nebraska's SHIP and Senior Medicare Patrol programs operate together as a single division inside the Department of Insurance, so a caller with both a plan-choice question and a suspected Medicare scam can be handled by the same office in one call.
