Broward County is one of Florida's most affected counties in the 2026 Medicare Advantage contraction. Both Humana and UnitedHealthcare are exiting Broward, leaving hundreds of thousands of seniors scrambling for replacement coverage. Here is the complete guide to Medicare in Broward County for 2026.
What's Happening in Broward County
Broward County has historically been one of Florida's strongest Medicare Advantage markets, with high plan penetration in cities like Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, and Deerfield Beach. The simultaneous exit of Humana and UHC from Broward represents the largest disruption to local Medicare coverage in decades.
Replacement Options in Broward
Despite the exits, Broward County retains strong Medicare coverage options. Florida Blue, Aetna, Cigna, and several regional carriers continue to offer Medicare Advantage plans in Broward. Medigap plans are available from all major carriers and provide the most stable long-term coverage option.
Broward County Hospitals and Networks
Broward Health, Memorial Healthcare System, and Cleveland Clinic Florida are the major hospital systems in Broward. When selecting a replacement plan, confirm your preferred hospitals and specialists are in the new plan's network. Network participation can vary significantly between carriers even within the same county.
