Limited primary care, modest mental health

Logan County has 29 primary care providers per 100,000 residents and 131 mental health providers—lower than most compared counties and well below Lee County's abundant resources. Rural location means some residents must travel to Decatur or Springfield for specialized care.

Best-insured in this group

At 5.4%, Logan County ties for the lowest uninsured rate among all eight counties, a real advantage in accessing care. However, the scarcity of primary care providers (29 per 100K) means residents often wait longer for appointments despite strong insurance coverage.

Keep coverage steady

Logan County's excellent uninsured rate reflects strong community enrollment, but maintaining continuous coverage protects against unexpected costs when traveling for specialty care. Review your plan annually at healthcare.gov to confirm it covers providers in nearby regional centers.
