Medicare help in North Carolina
Legacy Life Group holds a North Carolina insurance license and helps North Carolina residents compare Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and prescription drug plans, at no cost.
Why local plan comparison matters in North Carolina
The Medicare Advantage plans available to you, their provider networks, their drug formularies and their premiums are set at the county level. Medicare Supplement pricing also varies by state and by carrier. A plan that is excellent one county over may not even exist in yours.
As independent agents serving North Carolina, we compare the plans that are actually offered where you live, check them against your doctors and your medication list, and give you a straight recommendation. If staying put is your best move, we will tell you that too.

Medicare in North Carolina: what's different
Medicare is a federal program, but a few important rules and resources are set state by state. Here is what applies in North Carolina.
Medicare Advantage in North Carolina
About 61% of North Carolinians with Medicare Parts A and B are in a Medicare Advantage plan in 2026. North Carolina has about 2.3 million people on Medicare.

Medigap rules in North Carolina
North Carolina requires insurers to offer Medigap Plan A to people under 65 who have Medicare because of a disability, and Plan D or G too if they sell those to people 65 and older. The window is the 6 months after Part B starts, and insurers can charge more before 65. Beyond that, North Carolina follows the federal Medigap rules and has no "birthday rule" for switching plans.
Help paying for Medicare
If your income is limited, a Medicare Savings Program can pay your Part B premium and sometimes more. In North Carolina, apply through the NC Medicaid (through your county Department of Social Services or ePASS). For help with drug costs, you can also apply for Extra Help through Social Security.

No. Our services are free. We are paid by the carriers when you enroll, and your premium is the same either way.
Can you help me remotely?
Yes. We work with clients by phone and video across every state we serve, and everything can be handled without an office visit.
Can I buy a Medicare Supplement in North Carolina if I am under 65?
Yes, if you have Medicare because of a disability. North Carolina requires insurers to offer you Plan A, and Plan D or G if they sell those to people 65 and older, during the 6 months after your Part B starts. Premiums can be higher than at 65, and you get a new open enrollment at 65.
