Who has Medicare in Roberts County
Roberts 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 195 Medicare beneficiaries in Roberts County (2023). Their average age is 75, older than the Texas average of 73.
Among people in Original Medicare in Roberts County, CMS reported about 304 emergency room visits and 128 inpatient hospital stays per 1,000 beneficiaries in 2023, which is lower than the state average for emergency visits (580) and lower than it for hospital stays (226). These figures describe how people use care under Original Medicare; they do not show what any plan covers or costs.
