Good insurance coverage hampered by few primary care doctors

While 92.2% of Iberville residents carry insurance, the scarcity of primary care providers means insured patients often face long waits or must travel for basic checkups and preventive services. Mental health coverage is more accessible due to higher provider density, easing treatment for depression and anxiety.
