Committed to inclusive health care

At Regence, we believe everyone should have access to affordable, high-quality health care regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age or disability. We’re committed to inclusive care for all, which includes supporting the transgender community by providing health plan benefits for transgender services.

LGBTQIA+ health

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people face health disparities unique to the LGBTQIA+ community, such as higher rates of depression and risks for certain types of cancers. We’ve designed our health plans to support equitable care for LGBTQIA+ members. This includes providing gender-affirming care benefits and guidance—so you can navigate your health care choices and get the care you need.

Save money by staying in network

When you see in-network providers, you’ll save money on your medical care and avoid the paperwork and hassle that often comes with seeing out-of-network doctors. Use our provider search tool to search for doctors or clinics in your network and be sure to sign in so your results are based on your benefits.
