Medigap in George, WA: Medicare Supplement plans and insurers

CMS lists 62 clinicians with practice locations within 8 miles of George, including 29 in primary care (family and internal medicine, nurse practitioners and physician assistants). Every one of them is listed as accepting Medicare assignment, so a Part B excess charge is unlikely for care in town. That removes the main extra risk of Plan N for local care. Within 25 miles, CMS lists clinicians in mental health, physical therapy, chiropractic, eye care, cardiology, lung care, and general surgery. Few or none practice cancer care, orthopedics, kidney care, and neurology within 25 miles. Practices with Medicare clinicians near George include Moses Lake Community Health Center and Grant County Hospital District No. 2.

The closest hospital to George is Quincy Valley Medical Center in Quincy, about 6 miles away (a critical access hospital: a small rural hospital with 25 or fewer inpatient beds). The highest-rated hospital in that list is Samaritan Hospital, 2 of 5 stars on CMS's overall rating. Medigap has no hospital network: the Part A deductible ($1,736 in 2026) is covered the same here as anywhere.

4 Medicare-certified nursing homes are within 35 miles of George. The highest-rated is Columbia Basin Hospital in Ephrata (4 of 5 stars). Plans G and N pay the $217-a-day coinsurance for days 21 to 100 (2026).
