If you have both Medicare and Medicaid, you may qualify for a plan that coordinates your care and offers extra support. Kim Golphin is here to help you understand your choices.
Living in Columbus means having access to some of the most respected medical facilities in Ohio. For residents of Franklin County who are 'dual-eligible'—meaning they qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid—there are specialized Medicare Advantage plans designed to help bridge the gap between these two programs. Navigating these options shouldn't be stressful, and you don't have to do it alone.
In the Columbus area, having a plan that aligns with local providers is essential for a smooth healthcare experience. Many residents prefer to stay within established networks like OhioHealth, Mount Carmel, or the OSU Wexner Medical Center. Medicare Advantage plans for dual-eligible individuals often focus on keeping your doctors and specialists coordinated.
Medicare Options with Kim focuses on helping you find a path that respects your existing relationships with Franklin County physicians. By choosing a plan that works with major local health systems, you can focus more on your health and less on the paperwork.
Each year, the available plans for those with both Medicare and Medicaid can change. For 2026, it is important to review how these plans coordinate your hospital visits, primary care, and prescription drugs. These specialized plans are often referred to as Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs).
