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.

Common questions

What Teton Valley asks about Medicare.

Yes. Huhn Insurance is licensed in both Idaho and Wyoming, so Driggs, Victor and Tetonia are inside our normal service area. We work by phone, by video and in person, and we stay available year round rather than only during enrollment.

Idaho went from 66 Medicare Advantage plans to 48, a 27% reduction. Six are offered in Teton County. If your plan is not returning, you will get a notice and you will have a window to choose again. We can compare what is left, including Original Medicare with a Medigap plan.

Teton Valley Hospital in Driggs is a Medicare-certified critical access hospital, and whether a specific plan covers it depends on that plan's network. We also check Eastern Idaho Regional and University of Utah Hospital, because Teton Valley Health names both as receiving partners.

It depends entirely on the plan. Original Medicare travels with you anywhere that accepts Medicare, while Medicare Advantage networks have boundaries. Because we are licensed in both states, we can look at how each option handles care on both sides of the line.

Carriers build broker compensation into the plan, so your premium is the same whether you enroll on your own or with us. Medicare commissions are set by CMS and paid by the carrier. How we are paid is disclosed in writing up front.
