The Medicare landscape in Southwest Florida (Fort Myers, Naples, Lee & Collier)
Southwest Florida, covering Fort Myers, Naples, and the Lee and Collier county area, has one of the highest concentrations of Medicare-age residents anywhere in the country. That large retiree population makes it a rich and competitive market, with Humana, Florida Blue, and UnitedHealthcare all holding strong positions. There are plenty of $0-premium plans with generous benefits, but the seasonal snowbird pattern here makes network breadth and out-of-area coverage worth checking carefully.
