Tips on getting in-network care outside of Oregon 


Using Cardinal’s Regence Group Health Plan and doing some Travelling?  

Or moving out of Oregon?  

Yes, our Regence plan can cover you! 

Regence has a website where you can look up in network health care providers (Regence.com). This website works great in Oregon, but a better tool for finding a provider that takes Regence outside of Oregon is their national site – https://www.bcbs.com/member-services/find-a-doctor.* Covered employees can start there then call Regence’s customer service line to get confirmation and any necessary details. Call Regence Customer Service at Benefits & Claims: 888.675.6570. 

 

Remember, when you call Regence Customer Service Representatives, they stand behind the price they quote you on customer service calls. 

  • Have your Group Health Insurance card with you for reference. 
  • Make a note of the Day/Time/Date you called. 
  • Note the name of the Customer Service person you spoke with. 
  • Regence representative can walk you through your upcoming visit, the cost of medication, or other medical expenses. Be sure to write down the prices you were quoted. 
  • They can let you know if the doctor or facility is in the network and what the cost will be. 
  • You do not need to try to decipher 5 pages of a benefits summary to determine what the cost will be after insurance. 
  • And you get to speak to a real human to answer any questions!
