Volusia County Libraries Offer Free Online Tool to Help Residents Find Lower Medicare Supplement Rates

Posted On: November 14, 2025

Volusia County Public Library is helping residents make informed health care decisions by offering free access to the Weiss Ratings guide, an independent, nationally recognized resource that evaluates insurance products and financial services. The online tool compares prices for multiple standardized Medicare Supplement Insurance plans and is available at no cost to anyone with a Volusia County Public Library card.

Medigap Plan F, for example, is a standardized Medicare supplement plan that helps cover out-of-pocket costs such as deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, and offers identical benefits regardless of the insurance provider. However, monthly premiums can vary. The Weiss Ratings guide allows residents to compare prices side by side and find the most cost-effective coverage from the comfort of home. With a library account, users can log in through www.volusialibrary.org to view detailed reports, evaluate options, and generate personalized comparisons.

The tool also allows users to run reports for friends and relatives anywhere in the country. Data is available for all 50 states, making it a convenient option for families helping loved ones review Medicare supplement choices.

Interest in the service is strong. Last month, more than 300 Volusia County residents downloaded Medigap reports to research their health insurance options. With Medicare's annual open enrollment for health and drug plans ending on Dec. 7, residents are encouraged to take advantage of this free resource.

Library cards are free for Volusia County residents. For information on how to sign up, visit https://www.volusialibrary.org, call 386-248-1745, or stop by any Volusia County Public Library branch.
