Medicare in Columbus

Built around a military town

With Fort Moore next door, Columbus has a large population of military retirees who often hold TRICARE For Life alongside Medicare. TRICARE For Life requires Medicare Part A and B and pays secondary to Medicare, so the smart move is usually getting Part B timing right and deciding whether you even need a separate drug plan (TRICARE pharmacy is typically creditable). We sort that out with you.

For everyone else, Columbus care centers on Piedmont Columbus Regional and St. Francis–Emory Healthcare — so we confirm your providers are in-network before you pick an Advantage plan.
