Why your county matters for coverage
In Illinois, 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 DuPage County means the options on this page apply to you, and plans in a neighboring county may differ.
- Medicare: Illinois Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) gives free, unbiased counseling at 800-252-8966. Ask which plans serve DuPage County specifically.
- Marketplace plans: shop through Get Covered Illinois; enter your DuPage County ZIP code to see what is offered.
- Medicaid: apply through Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS).
Illinois note: Illinois is one of the most recent states to move off the federal Marketplace -- Get Covered Illinois only replaced HealthCare.gov as of the November 2025 open enrollment period, so older search results or bookmarks pointing to HealthCare.gov for Illinois are now out of date.
