Providing better quality employee health care
Our Core HMO plans provide your employees with the high-quality care and the tools they need to build a strong foundation of health. In fact, in 2016 our commercial HMO was named the top-performing health plan in the nation.1
Part of what makes our plan so affordable is having members receive care from our more than 1,000 doctors at our 25 medical offices. Our HMO plans also include 9,000 additional providers and specialists across Washington.
High-performing care teams
Washington Permanente Medical Group was the highest-ranked medical group in the state2 in the 2016 Community Checkup from Washington Health Alliance. And the additional providers in our HMO network share our dedication to quality care and better health outcomes for members.

Wellness services improve employee health and productivity. Care management, a 24-hour nurse hotline, online tools, and valuable decision aids help your employees make informed treatment choices.
Actionable reporting
For our large group clients, we collect and analyze valuable data about the way your employees are using their health coverage. We look at claims, hospitalizations, and level of physician engagement. Then we partner with you to adjust and adapt your health strategy accordingly.
