Why your county matters for coverage

In South Dakota, the health plans you can choose depend on where you live. Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are offered by service area, usually county by county, and marketplace premiums and carriers are set by area as well. Living in Codington County means the options on this page apply to you, and plans in a neighboring county may differ.

  • Medicare: South Dakota SHIINE (Senior Health Information and Insurance Education) gives free, unbiased counseling at (800) 536-8197. Ask which plans serve Codington County specifically.
  • Marketplace plans: shop through HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace); enter your Codington County ZIP code to see what is offered.
  • Medicaid: apply through South Dakota Department of Social Services (DSS).

South Dakota note: SHIINE organizes its volunteer counselors by region (western, southeastern, northeastern South Dakota), so a caller can be routed toward someone familiar with local providers and Medicare Advantage networks in their specific part of the state.
