Uniform Medical Plan (UMP)

These plans are administered by Regence BlueShield.  They allow you the freedom to choose any provider, but provide a higher reimbursement if your provider contracts as a preferred provider with Uniform Medical.  These plans offer coverage worldwide.

For additional information, or to find a provider, contact Uniform Medical at (888) 849-3681 or visit Uniform Medical Plan for PEBB.

Please see our Health Savings Account webpage for employees enrolled in a CDHP

 

Kaiser Permanente WA Classic/Value & Sound Choice (formerly Group Health)

These plans require you to seek services by a Kaiser Permanente WA Health provider.  If you happen to go to a non-Kaiser Permanente WA Health provider, you will not receive coverage.

You must verify your provider contracts with Kaiser Permanente WA to receive maximum coverage.  This is important, as you could be responsible for costs if you receive care from a provider who is not in the Kaiser Permanente WA Health network.

For additional information, or to find a provider, contact Kaiser Permanente WA at (888) 901-4636 or visit Kaiser Permanente WA for PEBB.

Kaiser Permanente WA CDHP (formerly Group Health)

This plan allows you to seek services from non-Kaiser Permanente WA Health providers, however, if you seek services from a non-Kaiser Permanente WA Health provider, the service may be covered at a reduced level of coverage.

These plans require you to seek services by a Kaiser Permanente provider.  If you happen to go to a non-Kaiser Permanente provider, you will not receive coverage.
