If you’re looking for a Medicare agent in Roslyn, NY, Craig Smith Insurance Group provides free, independent Medicare guidance to residents throughout this historic North Shore community. As an independent Medicare agent, Craig is not tied to any single insurance company, which means he compares every Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and Part D plan available in your ZIP code and recommends what’s genuinely best for your situation.
Roslyn (ZIP codes 11576 and 11577) is one of Nassau County’s most established communities, with a large senior population and strong ties to Northwell Health. North Shore University Hospital in nearby Manhasset (300 Community Drive) serves as the primary tertiary care center for Roslyn residents, with Syosset Hospital (221 Jericho Turnpike, Syosset) offering community hospital services closer to home. In 2026, understanding your Medicare plan’s Northwell network status is one of the most important healthcare decisions you can make.
⚠️ 2026 Northwell Health Network Alert — Roslyn Residents
In 2026, Wellcare Medicare Advantage terminated its Northwell Health network contract as of July 1, 2026, leaving Wellcare members without in-network access to North Shore University Hospital, Syosset Hospital, and other Northwell facilities. Fidelis Care was in active contract negotiations with Northwell as of mid-2026. If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan and see Northwell doctors, verify your network status now. Call Craig Smith at 917-740-1895 for a free review — we know which plans currently include Northwell facilities.
Northwell Health Facilities Serving Roslyn Residents
| Hospital | Location | Notable Services |
|---|---|---|
| North Shore University Hospital | 300 Community Drive, Manhasset, NY 11030 | Level I Trauma Center, nationally ranked in 10 specialties. Long Island’s leading cardiac program ranked #1 for CABG surgery mortality rate by CMS. 806 beds. |
| Syosset Hospital | 221 Jericho Turnpike, Syosset, NY 11791 | Community hospital and division of North Shore University Hospital. Geriatric Center of Excellence. Nationally recognized for joint replacement and patient safety. 136 beds. |
Syosset Hospital’s designation as a Geriatric Center of Excellence makes it particularly relevant for Medicare-age residents of Roslyn. Whether your Medicare plan covers both of these Northwell facilities depends entirely on your specific plan’s carrier contract with Northwell Health, which is why Craig Smith verifies coverage for every plan before making any recommendation.
Why Many Roslyn Residents Choose Medigap
Roslyn is one of Nassau County’s more affluent communities, with household incomes that often support the higher monthly premium of a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan. In return, Medigap offers something Medicare Advantage can’t guarantee: freedom from network restrictions.
- No Northwell network risk. With Medigap, you can see any doctor who accepts Medicare, including every Northwell physician at North Shore University Hospital and Syosset Hospital — without worrying about carrier contract disputes.
- New York guaranteed issue rights. New York allows you to enroll in or switch Medigap plans year-round, regardless of age or health history. If your current Medicare Advantage plan loses its Northwell network contract, you can switch to Medigap at any time.
- Predictable costs. With Medigap Plan G, your Medicare out-of-pocket costs are highly predictable, just the Part B deductible, with no copays for specialist visits or hospital stays.
- No referrals required. Medigap allows you to see any Medicare-accepting specialist directly, without a primary care referral or prior authorization from an insurance company.

Frequently Asked Questions — Medicare in Roslyn, NY
Does my Medicare Advantage plan cover Syosset Hospital and North Shore University Hospital?
It depends on your carrier’s current contract with Northwell Health. In 2026, Wellcare terminated its Northwell contract as of July 1, and Fidelis Care was in active negotiations. Other carriers have their own arrangements. Craig Smith verifies Northwell network status for every plan before recommending it to Roslyn clients.
What Medicare plans are available in Roslyn ZIP codes 11576 and 11577?
Roslyn residents in ZIP codes 11576 (Roslyn) and 11577 (Roslyn Heights) have access to Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans, and standalone Part D prescription drug plans. The available plans and their premiums vary by ZIP code. Craig compares every option in your specific ZIP code at no cost.
Can I switch from Medicare Advantage to Medigap if my plan loses Northwell network access?
Yes — New York’s guaranteed issue rights allow you to switch from Medicare Advantage to a Medigap plan year-round, without medical underwriting.
