Regence to offer expanded health coverage to Oregon employers

Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon announced today it will offer expanded coverage to Oregon companies through a Professional Employer Organization initiative with ADP TotalSource. The new agreement with ADP gives Oregon businesses the chance to offer top-tier health care benefits to existing and prospective employees. The announcement aligns two leading brands that together can provide Fortune 500 benefits and a wide-range of business solutions.

Effective immediately, ADP can offer members a suite of Regence medical and prescription options through ADP TotalSource. The new agreement allows ADP to deliver competitive employee benefits at a time when small businesses are struggling to afford coverage and navigate the changing landscape of the Affordable Care Act.

Improved Flexibility, Tools for Businesses
"Employers are looking for health care answers that fit their unique needs and budget," said Regence Vice President of Sales Angela Dowling. "By aligning with Regence, ADP can now offer a broader range of exceptional health care solutions that will allow businesses to meet their reform obligations quickly and confidently."

In addition to providing Affordable Care Act information, Regence offers ADP members access to a menu of wellness tools and resources, as well as transparency and pricing tools designed to improve employee health while reducing costs. The agreement gives small businesses access to the same Blue Cross and Blue Shield national network that serves 85 percent of Fortune 100 and 76 percent of Fortune 500 companies.
