Health Care Reform
Save time and money with our online tools
In the old days, health insurance companies were expected to just take in premiums and pay out claims. But we live in changing times. As health care costs continue to rise, we are looking for ways to help you get the best value from your care.
With cost savings in mind, we have created a suite of easy-to-use tools on myRegence.com to help you make better-informed health care decisions for you and your family. In fact, 74 percent of members who use our tools agree that we provide them with information they need to make their health care decisions.
Estimate Your Costs
Let's say you need a mammogram or a colonoscopy. Did you know that the cost can be twice as much in one facility versus another? That means more money out of your pocket. Our tools are designed to help you shop around and save money. With our Treatment Cost Estimator, you can compare procedure costs between providers, or explore treatment options so that you know what to expect before setting out on a treatment course. You can even find treatment costs for your geographic area and compare them to other areas Regence serves.

Find the Right Doctor
How do you find a doctor, dentist, clinic or other health care provider to fit your needs? With Patient Reviews, you can read helpful reviews from patients just like you. Plus, you can share your own experiences to help others make better-informed decisions. In fact, 25 percent of patients who have used Patient Reviews have changed their choice of provider based on the information they received. You can also compare providers to find those who are accepting new patients, and sort by language spoken, distance from your home, whether a provider is in your network and more.
