Medigap in Cle Elum, WA: Medicare Supplement plans and insurers

CMS lists 26 clinicians with practice locations within 8 miles of Cle Elum, including 14 in primary care (family and internal medicine, nurse practitioners and physician assistants). 2 of them are listed as sometimes declining Medicare assignment. That's too few clinicians to call the local rate high or low (statewide it's 4.5%), so ask your own providers whether they accept assignment. Most specialist care will mean a trip to Wenatchee, about 34 miles away. Medigap pays the same at any provider in the country that accepts Medicare, so you aren't limited to one county's network. Within 25 miles, CMS lists clinicians in mental health and chiropractic. Few or none practice cardiology, cancer care, orthopedics, eye care, kidney care, and neurology within 25 miles. Practices with Medicare clinicians near Cle Elum include Kittitas County Public Hospital Dist 1 and East Cascade Chiropractic, PLLC.
