Getting care when it’s needed the most
When your employees need care, timing matters. Data from Premera’s patient experience surveys shows that Kinwell is leading the way in access to primary care, which makes it easier for members to get appointments when they actually need it. In fact, Kinwell significantly outperforms the network average in offering appointments within one week, while keeping longer wait times much lower than other providers.
That access isn’t by chance. Kinwell has actively expanded its availability of providers, such as adding physicians to support demand for access to care when needed, helping ensure employees can be seen quickly without long delays. And importantly, the data also shows that employees are getting appointments that align with their preferences, reinforcing that convenience and flexibility are built into experience.
Real feedback from a Kinwell patient at the Wenatchee clinic:
“Val made me feel so comfortable and is so down to earth. She listened to my concerns and was honest but didn’t pressure me about anything. I felt like I was truly understood and I was building a healthcare plan with her, not just given a list without my input. She is phenomenal, and I’m so glad she is my provider.”

What this means for you
For employers, convenient access to primary care means fewer delays, better employee experiences, and potentially less disruption to your workforce productivity. When employees can get timely primary care, it can support earlier intervention and better health outcomes. This ultimately helps reduce the likelihood of more complex, higher-cost care down the line. Helping your employees connect with accessible, high-quality primary care can make a meaningful difference.
