***Important Message - Patient's with Regence Insurance***
Multicare and Regence have not yet reached an agreement, though negotiations are ongoing. We remain hopeful that an agreement will be reached, allowing you to continue receiving care with us at TFPC.
However, as of Sunday, May 10, 2026, we will no longer be in-network with any Regence plans unless an agreement is finalized.
You may continue receiving care at TFPC; however, services will be considered out-of-network and may require out-of-pocket payment with limited or no insurance coverage. The decision to continue care under these circumstances will be yours.
What you can do in the meantime:
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We will be updating our website as soon as we receive more information.
5/12/26 We have received a small update for primary care providers:
Continuation of services for primary care providers:
"Washington state law allows you to continue seeing your primary care provider at the same in-network rate, even if their contract with Regence has ended, for up to 60 days after you are notified of the contract ending. This means you will not pay higher out-of-network costs for visits to your primary care provider during this transition period."
This would allow all patients to continue being seen normally until July 9th, 2026 while negotiations continue.

What you can do in the meantime:
- Call Regence using the number on the back of your insurance card.
- Tell the customer service representative you are requesting to continue to see your primary care provider for 90 days under the continuity of care provision (this means extending your in network coverage for 90 days).
- Provide them your PCP's name and the clinic name.
