May River Medicare is an independent agency serving North Dakota. Because we’re independent — not tied to any one insurance company — we compare plans from more than 30 A-rated carriers and recommend what’s right for you, not what pays us most. Educate, empower, enroll — then stay in your corner for as long as you’re on Medicare.

Your Options

The Medicare coverage we help North Dakota residents with

Three main paths — and the right one depends on your health, your doctors, your prescriptions, and where in North Dakota you live.

Medigap

Medicare Supplement

Pairs with Original Medicare to cover much of what Parts A and B leave behind. Standardized and accepted by any doctor nationwide that takes Medicare — ideal if you travel or split time between states.

Part C

Medicare Advantage

All-in-one plans that often bundle drug, dental, and vision. Availability, networks, and extras vary by North Dakota county and ZIP — we check exactly what’s offered where you live.

Part D

Prescription Drug Plans

Stand-alone drug coverage that keeps prescriptions affordable and helps you avoid the late-enrollment penalty. We match a plan to your exact medication list.

Check Your Area

Find your county & confirm your ZIP

Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are approved county by county — often ZIP by ZIP. Check your area, then we’ll show the plans actually available at your address.

Why State Matters

Medicare isn’t the same in every state

The national program is one thing — the plans, prices, and rules that actually reach you are local. That’s why North Dakota deserves its own attention.

Medicare has national rules, but the details that affect your wallet and your doctors are set locally. Here’s what changes from state to state — and inside North Dakota, from one county and ZIP to the next:

  • Plan availability & networks — which Medicare Advantage plans exist, and which doctors and hospitals are in-network, are set by your county and ZIP within North Dakota.
  • Premiums & Part D drug coverage — monthly costs and prescription formularies are priced locally, not the same nationwide.
  • Medigap rules & switching windows — how and when you can move between Medicare Supplement plans can differ from one state to the next.
  • The carriers offered in North Dakota — the insurance companies writing policies here aren’t the same everywhere, and rates vary between them.

We handle those North Dakota details for you — and check your exact county and ZIP — so you compare the plans that actually apply to you, not a generic list.

Your Privacy, Protected

Safe, private, and no pressure

We know handing over personal information online makes people nervous — especially where Medicare is concerned. Here’s our promise to you.

We keep your information safe — and ask for very little

To get started, the only information we ever ask for is on the short preliminary application. That’s it.

  • We will never ask for your Social Security number, credit card, or banking information to get started.
  • The only details we collect are the simple ones on the preliminary application — nothing more.
  • We’re 110% committed to your privacy and security at every step.
  • Your information is handled through our secure, HIPAA-compliant platform — monitored and logged for your protection.
  • Always free, with no obligation and no pressure — ever.
  • Talk to a real, licensed agent — never a scam call or a script.

When you can enroll

Missing a window can mean lifelong penalties. Here are the key ones — we’ll map your exact dates.

New to Medigap

Every fall

Annual Enrollment (Oct 15 – Dec 7)

Switch or change Medicare Advantage and Part D plans for the coming year — a great time for a review.

Common Questions

North Dakota Medicare questions

Do I need a North Dakota–specific Medicare plan?
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans are standardized and work with any provider nationwide that accepts Medicare. Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are sold and priced locally — so your options depend on your North Dakota county and ZIP. We check both so you see exactly what applies to you.
Which plans are available in my county?
It varies. Availability, premiums, and networks for Advantage and Part D are set at the county and ZIP level. Share your ZIP and we’ll pull the plans actually offered at your address and compare them side by side — free.
What information do I have to give to get started?
Very little. To begin, we only ask for the basic details on the short preliminary application. We will never ask for your Social Security number, credit card, or banking information to get started, and everything is handled through our secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.
Does May River serve my part of North Dakota?
Yes — we serve all 53 counties across North Dakota, including Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks, Minot, West Fargo, Williston and everywhere between.

Nothing. Our services are completely free to you — we’re compensated by the carriers, so you get personalized, licensed guidance at no cost and no obligation.
