Regence reaches deal on new contract with The Everett Clinic
EVERETT — Thousands of people who receive health care coverage through Regence got good news Friday: They can continue receiving in-network care at The Everett Clinic and The Polyclinic.
Those patients had been living with uncertainty for weeks as Regence BlueShield and Optum, the parent company of the two clinics, negotiated a new contract to replace one expiring this week. Regence announced the agreement late Thursday.
“We’re pleased to share that we have reached agreement with Optum to keep The Everett Clinic and The Polyclinic in network for our Commercial members. There should be no disruption in care for our Commercial members because of these negotiations,” reads a statement on the Regence website.
Regence will send letters to affected members and notify employers and brokers.
