If your Premera health plan is OptiFlex funded and you’re looking for a way to promote primary care, this is it. Kinwell Connect offers members zero-dollar cost shares1 on primary care visits at Kinwell, making care more affordable and accessible. Kinwell Connect is included with all OptiFlex funded health plans.

Kinwell offers a variety of services including annual wellness exams, preventive care, and referrals to specialists. At Kinwell, Premera Blue Cross members get:

  • Prompt appointments
