Medicare in Teton Valley
Idaho's plan field got smaller for 2026
Idaho went from 66 Medicare Advantage plans in 2025 to 48 in 2026 — a 27% reduction statewide. Six of those are offered in Teton County: three PPOs and three HMO-POS plans. Idaho has ten stand-alone Part D prescription drug plans.
When a plan field contracts, people get moved. If your plan is not returning next year you have a decision to make and a window to make it in. We compare what remains against Original Medicare with a Medigap plan before you choose.
Care in the valley
Teton Valley Hospital in Driggs is a 13-bed Medicare-certified critical access hospital with a Level 4 trauma designation, and it names Eastern Idaho Regional in Idaho Falls and University of Utah Hospital as receiving partners. About 1,778 county residents are 65 or older.
Which plans cover the Driggs hospital, the Idaho Falls and Salt Lake receiving hospitals, your doctors and your prescriptions is the whole question. We check each option against all of them before recommending anything, and we stay on the file after you enroll.
