Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah Provider Network
Regence offers two networks for its individual and family plans: Regence Individual and Family Network and Regence SaveWell.
Regence Individual and Family Network
The Individual and Family Network is a broad network that covers Northern Utah. This network is composed of the doctors, facilities and practitioners we’ve contracted with to provide care to our members at a discounted price in parts of Utah, as well as providers in Oregon and parts of Idaho and Washington. You also have 24/7/365 access to virtual care through Doctor On Demand anywhere you are.
You have access to Individual and Family Network providers in parts of Utah, Idaho and Washington, as well as statewide in Oregon. BlueCard® offers in-network benefits for urgent care, emergency care and ambulance services are outside these states. Out-of-network urgent care, emergency care and ambulance services are paid as in-network care, subject to balance billing.
Regence SaveWell
This network provides robust provider access within a more focused geographic area and is designed to deliver better health outcomes at a lower cost. This includes all the Steward Health Care medical centers in Utah (Davis County, Salt Lake County and northern Utah County hospitals) and select specialists in the University of Utah health system. The SaveWell Network offers 30 hospitals, 695 primary care providers (PCPs), 5,700+ specialists and 9 urgent care locations.
With plans on this network, there is no coverage outside the network (except for urgent care, emergency care and ambulance services), so you must be very careful to always see an in-network provider. You also have access to virtual care through network providers or 24/7 access to Doctor On Demand anywhere you are. (Out-of-network urgent care, emergency care and ambulance services are covered as in-network care, subject to balance billing.)
