Premera and MultiCare Reach Agreement

Premera Blue Cross is pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with MultiCare. They will remain in-network with no break in coverage for our members. This new agreement ensures that our members continue to have access to quality care at an affordable price and that MultiCare is fairly compensated.

We approached this negotiation with the same philosophy we always have:

• Use data to help make informed, fact-based decisions
• Equitably compensate the hospital system while remaining competitive in the market
• Keep costs low for our customers

As we’ve always said, these negotiations are not about Premera; they’re about our customers. We serve as their advocate during these discussions as we work with provider partners on practical solutions to keep healthcare affordable and accessible.
