What is Medicare Mondays, and can Blanding residents use it?

What Medicare plans are available in Blanding and San Juan County?
San Juan County residents choose among Medicare Advantage (Part C), Medicare Supplement (Medigap) paired with Original Medicare, and stand-alone Part D drug plans. Rural counties have fewer plan options than the Wasatch Front, which makes checking each plan's provider network and drug formulary even more important. You can browse every plan offered in your ZIP on the official Medicare Plan Compare tool at medicare.gov/plan-compare, or we'll compare them with you — free.
I'm a veteran (or get care through IHS) in Blanding — how does Medicare fit?
If you get prescriptions through the VA or an IHS/tribal pharmacy, some Medicare Advantage plans available in San Juan County are designed without Part D drug coverage — they can pair with the drug coverage you already have instead of duplicating it, sometimes with a Part B premium reduction. Whether that structure fits depends on your specific benefits, so bring your VA or IHS details and we'll walk through it together. Education only — we'll show you the official plan documents before any decision.
What health conditions are most common among San Juan County adults?
Per CDC PLACES (2023), among San Juan County adults high blood pressure affects 34.6%, obesity 34.4%, diabetes 13.7%, and coronary heart disease 8%. That's why matching a plan's drug formulary and specialist network to your conditions matters more than the headline premium.
Does Medicare On Main charge for help choosing a plan?
No. Brian Penner is an independent, licensed Medicare advisor — paid by the carriers, not by you. Guidance is free, and there's no pressure to enroll.
