After continued negotiations, Premera Blue Cross has reached a new multi-year agreement with UW Medicine. This new contract allows members across all Premera lines of business to retain in-network access with all UW Medicine-affiliated providers and facilities.
Premera and UW Medicine started negotiations with the goal of reaching an agreement that balances fair compensation for the healthcare system and continued access to high-quality, affordable care for Premera members. This new contract reflects those goals and ensures there is no disruption for Premera members who receive care at UW Medicine.
This agreement represents our shared commitment to making healthcare work better. We are grateful for the patience of our customers as we worked tirelessly to reach an agreement. We look forward to continuing to partner with UW Medicine on solutions that drive down costs and improve access to the high-quality care that UW Medicine is known for.
