Medigap in Coulee Dam, WA: Medicare Supplement plans and insurers

CMS lists 41 clinicians with practice locations within 8 miles of Coulee Dam, including 30 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 East Wenatchee, about 72 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. Few or none practice cardiology, cancer care, orthopedics, eye care, kidney care, and neurology within 25 miles. Practices with Medicare clinicians near Coulee Dam include Douglas, Grant, Lincoln and Okanogan Counties Public Hospital District 6.
