Asheville

Tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains and the seat of Buncombe County, Asheville is a well-known mountain destination for retirees drawn by the scenery, the arts, and the milder pace. From downtown and Montford to West Asheville and the surrounding mountain communities, plan options here are organized at the county level for Buncombe County.

How Medicare works in Asheville

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) is a federal program, so the basics are the same across Western North Carolina — whether you live in downtown Asheville, in the mountains outside town, or in nearby communities like Black Mountain and Weaverville. What changes locally is which Medicare Advantage and North Carolina Part D plans are offered, because availability and provider networks are set by county.

Buncombe County is a popular mountain retirement destination, and many residents want plans that work with the Western North Carolina hospitals and providers serving the region. With several Medicare Advantage and drug plan choices available, it helps to have someone compare them side by side. A local, independent advisor reviews the options available at your address — matched to your doctors, your medications, and your budget. New to Medicare? Start with our Medicare 101 guide.
