Regence Health Policy Center

The Regence Health Policy Center works to inform and advance policies that promote access to high-quality and affordable health care across Regence’s four market states—Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.

Focus Areas

Affordability: We are dedicated to addressing the pressing issue of rising health care costs. We consider the root causes driving cost increases and offer policy recommendations to foster a more affordable health care system for people and their families.

Accessibility: We work to improve access to high-quality care by focusing on policies that help make care equitable, affordable, and convenient including supporting alternative sites of care and advancing technology solutions.

Person-Centered Care: We support patient-focused policies that enable personalized care and seamless care coordination with the aim of driving a more efficient and effective health care system that improves patient satisfaction and delivers better health outcomes.

What We Do

Partnerships: It takes all parts of the health care system working together to find effective and sustainable solutions. We partner with experts and organizations to consider and guide health policy recommendations and decisions.

Policy Development: Through in-depth research, analysis, and engagement with policymakers, we provide data-driven insights to inform and advance solutions that address complex health care challenges.

Legislative Education: We work with policymakers, unions, employers, patient advocacy groups, consumer groups, and industry stakeholders to provide a deeper understanding of health care issues, leveraging insights drawn from our health plans and broader trends.

Through these efforts, we continually strive to build a health care system that is affordable, inclusive, and responsive to the people and communities we serve.
