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 parish matters for coverage
In Louisiana, the health plans you can choose depend on where you live. Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are offered by service area, usually parish by parish, and marketplace premiums and carriers are set by area as well. Living in Grant Parish means the options on this page apply to you, and plans in a neighboring parish may differ.
- Medicare: LaSHIP (Louisiana Senior Health Insurance Information Program) gives free, unbiased counseling at 1-800-259-5300. Ask which plans serve Grant Parish specifically.
- Marketplace plans: shop through HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace); enter your Grant Parish ZIP code to see what is offered.
- Medicaid: apply through Healthy Louisiana (Louisiana Department of Health).
Louisiana note: Louisiana's Medicaid managed-care program carries its own brand name, Healthy Louisiana, distinct from the Louisiana Department of Health that administers it -- most member-facing materials lead with the Healthy Louisiana name rather than the word Medicaid directly.
