Provider Web Site is changing

This spring, our Provider Web Site will be redesigned. The new site will make it easier for you to locate the information and features you need.

You will have the opportunity to 'test drive' the new site. In addition, an online tour will be available.

We'll share more information about this change on our website and in a special editon of this newsletter.

Health Care Reform information and resources

Regence has long advocated for comprehensive health care reform. While the new federal reform law represents meaningful progress, it is just the beginning of a longer journey.

Moving forward, we will continue to experience significant changes to our health care system. We've developed a health care reform resource to keep providers informed.
