Who has Medicare in Hall County
Hall County is a rural county; the U.S. Department of Agriculture describes it as: urban population of fewer than 5,000, not adjacent to a metro area. Rural counties tend to have fewer local hospitals and doctors, so a plan’s network and the distance to care matter a great deal.
CMS counts 811 Medicare beneficiaries in Hall County (2023). Their average age is 74, about the same as the Texas average of 73. About 17% are “dual eligible,” meaning they have both Medicare and Medicaid, higher than the state figure of 11%. Where many people have both, special plans for dual-eligible members can matter; see our Medicaid and dual eligible guide, since availability varies by plan and area.
Among people in Original Medicare in Hall County, CMS reported about 651 emergency room visits and 239 inpatient hospital stays per 1,000 beneficiaries in 2023, which is higher than the state average for emergency visits (580) and close to it for hospital stays (226). About 14% received home health care. These figures describe how people use care under Original Medicare; they do not show what any plan covers or costs.
