Medigap in Longbranch, WA: Medicare Supplement plans and insurers

CMS lists 24 clinicians with practice locations within 8 miles of Longbranch, including 4 in primary care (family and internal medicine, nurse practitioners and physician assistants). 8 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 Steilacoom, about 9 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.
