Recently, Regence BlueShield (the administrator for UMP) mailed a legally required notice to approximately 57,000 PEBB and SEBB members about an upcoming potential provider network disruption. The mailing states that Providence, Swedish, and Pacific Medical Centers (PacMed) may no longer be in the UMP network in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, and Thurston counties starting April 1, 2025.
HCA understands that all parties continue to negotiate in hopes of reaching an agreement before the current contract expires. If a new network agreement is reached, UMP members will receive another letter from Regence informing them of this result.
