Medicare agent for Fulton County
My office is in Clifton Park, and I work with Fulton County residents by phone, WhatsApp and video. Most Medicare choices here start with one question: how does the plan treat Nathan Littauer Hospital in Gloversville and the doctors you already see?
Where Fulton County residents get care
- Nathan Littauer Hospital & Nursing Home, at 99 East State Street in Gloversville, (518) 725-8621: an acute care hospital with a skilled nursing home, plus primary and specialty care centers. Its billing page says physicians in the hospital may not take the same plans as the hospital, so the hospital and each doctor get checked separately.
- Specialists in Saratoga Springs, Schenectady or Albany. If you also see doctors there, check them separately. Saratoga Hospital, Ellis Hospital and Albany Medical Center each have a page with their own accepted-insurance wording.
Before we look at a single premium, I run every doctor you see against each plan's current directory for Fulton County.
What's particular about Fulton County
- Its own plan list. Medicare Advantage plans are filed by county, so a Gloversville address and an address across the line in Montgomery or Saratoga County can see different plan lists.
- Distance. In the northern towns, such as Northville, the nearest in-network doctor can be a long drive. A plan with a small local network costs you in miles, not just dollars, so we look at where the in-network providers actually are.
- Help with costs. New York's Medicare Savings Program, Extra Help and EPIC have no asset test for the Medicare Savings Program, so they're worth checking even if you think your income is too high.
- Medigap. In New York you can buy or switch Medigap in any month without health questions. Premiums are set by region, and I check the Department of Financial Services' published rates for yours.
Fulton County Office for Aging and Youth
At 19 North William Street in Johnstown, (518) 736-5650. It offers insurance counselling, including supplemental insurance and Medicare claims and bills, by appointment. For HIICAP, New York's free, unbiased Medicare counselling, call the statewide line, 1-800-701-0501, and it routes you to your county.

Medicare Advantage plans in Fulton County
Advantage plans are filed and priced by county, so the list for Fulton County is its own list. The carriers whose plans I'm authorized to offer here are the 11 on the carriers page, each with what it sells and which of the region's hospitals list it; which of their plans are sold in Fulton County changes each January. What decides the choice in this county is whether the plan lists Nathan Littauer Hospital in Gloversville, and any specialists you see in Saratoga Springs, Schenectady or Albany — the plan's provider directory, not the carrier name, is the final check.

Do Medicare Advantage plans in Fulton County include Nathan Littauer Hospital?
It depends on the plan, and Littauer's own billing page asks patients to check with their insurance plan. It also notes that physicians who work in the hospital may not participate with the same plans as the hospital. So before you enroll I check Nathan Littauer and each of your doctors by name in the specific plan's own directory.
