Medicare and senior insurance help in Jacksonville

Jacksonville seniors often ask one question first: can I keep seeing my doctors at Mayo Clinic? Mayo's Florida campus sits on the city's south side, and network access varies a lot from plan to plan.

The city also has deep Navy roots, with NAS Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport nearby. Military retirees here pair Medicare with TRICARE For Life, which requires Part B. St. Johns and Clay counties keep growing with retirees too, and each has its own plan list.

  • Medicare Advantage
  • Medicare Supplement
  • Part D drug plans
  • Final expense insurance

  • Mayo Clinic access

    If Mayo Clinic Florida matters to you, confirm network status for that exact plan before enrolling.
  • Navy retirees

    TRICARE For Life needs Part A and Part B. Most retirees with it skip Medigap.
  • Suburb counties

    St. Johns, Clay and Nassau counties each have their own plan options.

Local hospitals

Check these Jacksonville hospitals against any plan's network

  • Mayo Clinic Florida
  • UF Health Jacksonville

  • Ascension St. Vincent's

Networks change every January. Call your doctor's office and ask which Jacksonville plans it will accept next year, then match that list against the plans you are comparing. Here is why: a plan directory can lag behind real contracts by weeks.
