Consider Providence Choice for 2022
Are you currently enrolled in the Providence Statewide medical plan? If so, you might want to move to the Providence Choice medical plan for 2022. Here are three great reasons:
- Higher quality care
- Lower out-of-pocket costs
- Lower contributions
Providence Choice is a good medical plan option for many Oregon state and university employees.

Did you Know?
You can buy Optional Life Insurance in addition to your PEBB-paid basic life plan. Optional life is available to you and your spouse/partner. When you purchase optional coverage, you can access other great benefits at no cost to you. These additional services include estate planning, financial planning, identity theft prevention and funeral arrangements.
