Pasco County has one of the largest Medicare-eligible populations in the Tampa Bay area, concentrated heavily on the west side and in the county's 55+ communities. Plan availability and networks are genuinely different in New Port Richey than they are in Wesley Chapel, which is why a plan a neighbor loves may be a poor fit five miles away. ECKA Advisory Group compares them independently.
Wesley Chapel · Land O' Lakes · New Port Richey · Zephyrhills · Dade City · Hudson
New Port Richey, Hudson and Port Richey have a dense retiree population and an unusually aggressive amount of Medicare marketing to match. A lot of what arrives in the mail is designed to move you off a plan that was working fine. We'll tell you plainly when your current plan is already the right one — that's a normal outcome of an honest review.
If you moved to Pasco from another state, your old plan almost certainly doesn't follow you, and the move itself opens a Special Enrollment Period. Timing matters here: the window is limited, and missing it can leave you waiting until the fall.
East Pasco has fewer participating specialists than the coastal side, so network breadth carries more weight in a plan decision there. We check drive distance to in-network providers, not just whether a network technically covers the county.

Kevin personally replies — usually the same day.
"I called in because I needed Medicare guidance and I was referred to Kevin by a close friend in Citrus county. Kevin went above and beyond helping me choose which plan was best for me and my needs. Treats people with respect, very friendly, and you can tell he cares about his clients and their needs. Hard to find these days!"
"I was referred to Kevin by a friend of mine in Tampa who went through him for her Medicare plan. I was interested in getting life insurance and she referred me over to them. Although I didn't end up getting the life insurance policy YET, I wanted to commend Kevin's patience and thoroughness with explaining the pros and cons of each policy and helped me find exactly what I was looking for. Great customer service and they will be my go to for any insurance needs from here on out."
"My wife and I were very skeptical about the process, also how it would affect us in the long run, but our new insurance agent Kevin remained patient and helped us to realize what we have been missing out on for our family for years. I really appreciate his dedication, patience, and how informed he was on explaining every minuscule question I had. We all end up signing up and we are truly covered for life without worry!"
