Medicare in Agoura Hills by the numbers
Agoura Hills is a city of homeowners at the county's western edge, older than most of this site, with more than four thousand people past 65. ZIP code 91301 is home to 23,879 people, and 4,406 of them are 65 or older, which is 18.5 percent against 15.2 percent for Los Angeles County, with a median age of 46.7 against the county's 38.2. Those counts come from the 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey, summed from the age brackets rather than estimated from a percentage. The median household income is $163,317, one of the higher figures on this site, and 82.4 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied, 7,281 households out of 8,839, one of the highest ownership rates of any ZIP code on this site against 45.9 percent countywide. Of residents aged 5 and over, 78.8 percent speak only English at home and 6.6 percent speak Spanish.
No hospital in the city, and the west Valley's hospitals a few minutes east
There is no hospital inside 91301. East, UCLA West Valley Medical Center at 7300 Medical Center Dr in West Hills is licensed for 249 beds and Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center at 18321 Clark Street for 204, with Kaiser Foundation Hospital Woodland Hills at 5601 De Soto Ave licensed for 274 and reachable only through a Kaiser plan. Those counts come from California state licensing records, read this month, which cover Los Angeles County; Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center at 215 W Janss Rd in Thousand Oaks sits across the Ventura County line and is outside that record, and whether a plan's medical group admits there or in the Valley is in its directory, not in the city name. Medicare Advantage networks are built around medical groups rather than around the insurance company's name, so two plans carrying the same logo can reach completely different doctors, and those contracts are renegotiated year to year. Before you enroll in anything, Lara pulls each plan's current directory and confirms your doctors, your hospital and your pharmacy, and she repeats that check each fall when plans publish their changes.
The income surcharge, a paid off house, and which side of the county line
Three things shape an Agoura Hills review. The first is the income surcharge: Part B and Part D premiums carry an income related adjustment for higher earners, set from the tax return of two years earlier, so a good final working year can raise the premium in the first year of retirement; if income has since dropped because of a life changing event, with retirement the most common one, Social Security can be asked to use current income instead by filing Form SSA-44. The second is the house: with four in five homes owner occupied and many of them the family's largest asset, the long term care conversation, how care would be paid for and how a home is treated under Medi-Cal's rules, belongs in the same review, before it is urgent. The third is the county line: Medicare Advantage plans are sold by county, and an Agoura Hills household whose doctors sit in Thousand Oaks or Westlake Village needs a plan whose medical group admits across that line, which is checked in each plan's current directory before anything is signed; Original Medicare with a Medicare Supplement holds any doctor who takes Medicare on either side, and a permanent move across the line opens a Special Enrollment Period to change plans. In 2026 the county's general enrollment Advantage plans carry out of pocket maximums from $199 to $9,250, and the Part D cap is $2,100.
Medicare Advantage in Agoura Hills by the numbers, 2026
Agoura Hills sits in Los Angeles County, one of the biggest Medicare Advantage markets in the country. In 2026 the county has 74 Medicare Advantage plans open to general enrollment plus 47 Special Needs Plans, per the CMS 2026 Landscape file, and 65 of those 74 plans charge a $0 monthly plan premium. About 57 percent of the county's 1.7 million Medicare beneficiaries are enrolled in Medicare Advantage or other Medicare health plans (CMS, May 2026). Our analysis of the same CMS file puts the average in network out of pocket maximum across the county's general enrollment plans at $2,428, with a median of $1,700 and a range from $199 all the way to $9,250. That spread is the whole argument for comparing before you enroll: two $0 premium plans can differ by thousands of dollars in a bad year.

Straight answers, and the fine print up front
Here is exactly how this works. Lara is a licensed independent insurance agent, and her help costs you nothing, because licensed agents are paid by the insurance companies whose plans they represent. Your premium is the same whether you enroll through an agent, online, or directly with the insurer. What an independent agent adds is the comparison: she is appointed with several carriers rather than one. She does not carry every plan available in Los Angeles County, and she will tell you when something she cannot sell looks like the better fit for you.
