Medicare options in Washington Township, Northampton County
Washington Township residents in the 18013 ZIP often find Medicare confusing once the mailbox fills up at 65. The question that actually matters isn't which envelope to open first; it's whether a plan keeps your doctors and hospital in-network.
Up here in the Slate Belt, both LVHN and St. Luke's University Health Network serve the area, but most Medicare Advantage plans include only one of those networks at in-network rates. A plan that suits a neighbor in Pen Argyl might leave your provider out of network for you.
You're welcome to compare it all yourself on Medicare.gov, free and with no login, and plenty of folks do. Or we can walk it through with you by video or phone. Either way, plan availability varies by ZIP and county, we do not offer every plan available in your area, and we are not connected with or endorsed by the U.S. government or the federal Medicare program.
