Update on negotiations with OHSU

Regence is dedicated to working things out with OHSU, and we remain in conversations with OHSU leadership focused on resolution. We understand that health care costs are rising, but we’re also focused on making sure our members and employer groups aren’t hit with steep, double-digit price increases.

Our main goal is to help our members get great health care without paying more than they should. When providers raise their prices, it ends up costing more for everyone we serve.

Despite the termination, Regence members may continue to see OHSU providers and use their facilities at in-network rates and benefits all the way through the end of 2026. So, you can continue getting care from OHSU just like you always have, without worrying about extra costs.

Update Dec. 31, 2025 

OHSU’s leadership issued a termination notice to Regence for OHSU providers and facilities effective Jan. 1, 2026, which includes Hillsboro Medical Center and Tuality Medical Group. OHSU affiliate provider Adventist Health is not affected by this contract negotiation and remains in network.

Unfortunately, we have yet to reach an agreement on reimbursement rates. However, due to a 12-month continuation of services provision in the contract, our members will continue to have access to OHSU providers and facilities at in-network rates and benefits through Dec. 31, 2026, with no threat of balance billing.

We are still very much at the table with OHSU’s leadership and remain optimistic we can come to agreement on a contract that balances the need to fairly reimburse medical professionals with keeping health care affordable for Oregonians.

We will update this article as negotiations unfold.

Update Dec. 23, 2025

Regence and OHSU continue to meet to reach agreement on a contract that balances fair reimbursement for medical services with affordability for our members.

As a major commercial payer for OHSU, we've proposed reimbursements that fully cover member care costs and promote sustainability throughout the health care ecosystem. Our approach is balanced and designed to benefit all parties involved.

In the event that OHSU decides to leave the Regence network, our members may continue to visit OHSU’s providers and facilities at in-network rates and benefits through Dec. 31, 2026, due to a 12-month continuation-of-services clause in our current contract.

Update Nov. 13, 2025

OHSU’s leadership issued a termination notice to Regence for OHSU providers and facilities, Hillsboro Medical Center and Tuality Medical Group. OHSU affiliate provider Adventist Health is not affected by this contract negotiation and remains in network.

Our negotiations have entered the time when we are required by regulators to notify our members of the potential for termination.

We are working hard to meet the state’s goal of containing rising costs under its Cost Growth Target program. We are at the table, actively negotiating in good faith.

Regence members continue to have full in-network access to OHSU’s providers and facilities through the end of the year under the current contract.

Even if OHSU's leaders decide to remove their facilities and providers from our network, our members will continue to have in-network access to OHSU for 12 months under a continuation of services provision that grants Regence members in-network access through Dec. 31, 2026.

We will update this article as negotiations unfold.
