Affordable healthcare
Breaking down your healthcare dollar
Aligned with our values as a tax-paying nonprofit, nearly 90% of every premium dollar pays for our members’ medical claims and expenses. That includes doctor visits, hospital care, medications, and other health care goods and services. In 2024 alone, Regence paid $13.8 billion in health benefits for our fully insured and self-funded members.
How Regence fights to keep care affordable for you
From groceries to gas, every dollar you earn is being stretched to the limit. Our job is to advocate for our members and customers when negotiating rates with providers.

Providers are requesting unprecedented, double-digit rate increases, as much as 50-75% over three years.
