The Villages is one of the largest age-restricted retirement communities in the country, spreading across Sumter County and into parts of Lake and Marion counties in Central Florida.

What's different about Medicare in The Villages

The Villages spans Sumter County plus parts of Lake and Marion counties, and because Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are set at the county level, two neighbors in different sections of the community can have different plan options — so your exact address matters here more than in most places. Florida follows the federal Medigap rules with no annual state "birthday rule," making the one-time six-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period at 65 especially important.
