Medigap in Ilwaco, WA: Medicare Supplement plans and insurers

CMS lists 41 clinicians with practice locations within 8 miles of Ilwaco, including 20 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. Most specialist care will mean a trip to Olympia, about 74 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, cardiology, and eye care. Few or none practice cancer care, orthopedics, kidney care, and neurology within 25 miles. Practices with Medicare clinicians near Ilwaco include Public Hospital District 3 of Pacific County, Willapa Counseling Center, and Darren L Thorsen, Od.

The closest hospital to Ilwaco is Ocean Beach Hospital in Ilwaco, about 3 miles away (a critical access hospital: a small rural hospital with 25 or fewer inpatient beds). The highest-rated hospital in that list is PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center, 4 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.

1 Medicare-certified nursing home is within 35 miles of Ilwaco. The highest-rated is Willapa Harbor Care in Raymond (4 of 5 stars). Plans G and N pay the $217-a-day coinsurance for days 21 to 100 (2026).

Ilwaco is about 4 miles from Oregon. Your Washington Medigap policy pays the same at Oregon doctors and hospitals that accept Medicare, with no network. Oregon doesn't ban Part B excess charges, so if you use providers there, Plan G's excess-charge coverage can matter.
