Medigap in Newport, WA: Medicare Supplement plans and insurers

CMS lists 50 clinicians with practice locations within 8 miles of Newport, including 21 in primary care (family and internal medicine, nurse practitioners and physician assistants). 1 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 Millwood, about 36 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 cardiology, physical therapy, mental health, eye care, and general surgery. Few or none practice cancer care, orthopedics, kidney care, and neurology within 25 miles. Practices with Medicare clinicians near Newport include Pend Oreille County Public Hospital District No 1 and Providence Health and Services Washington.

Medigap has no hospital network: the Part A deductible ($1,736 in 2026) is covered the same here as anywhere.
