Regence Innova, Engage and Activate products
are available to all size employer groups. They
feature flexible options; allowing employers
to choose copayment, coinsurance and deductible
amounts. Members can seek services from any provider.
These products include unique member cards, changes
to payment vouchers, and dedicated Customer Service
phone numbers. Activate members
are rewarded for participating in a wide variety
of activities geared toward improving and maintaining
health, including exercising, healthy eating,
seeking preventive care, and reducing stress.
Reward points earned upon completion of the activities
are tracked in an individual Member Choice Account

HSA Healthplan 2.0SM Product |
HSA Healthplan 2.0SM is a comprehensive,
consumer directed health plan with the option
for members to enroll in a tax-free savings account.

HSA Qualified Plans |
Health savings accounts (HSAs) were signed
into federal law with the Medicare Prescription
Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003.
The law’s intent was to pair high-deductible
health plans with savings accounts that allow
individuals to set aside tax-deductible, interest-earning
funds to cover deductibles, coinsurance and other
qualified medical expenses. Rolling over unused
funds from year to year adds tax-sheltered investment
and retirement-planning options.
The Regence HSA-qualified high deductible
health plan uses either the Participating or
Preferred provider network. Although Regence
members may choose any financial institution
to administer their HSA, our preferred financial
services companies are HSA Bank and Wells Fargo.
Both banks provide debit cards so that members
may access HSA funds to cover qualified medical
expenses.

| BlueChoices
Group Products |
To meet the changing needs of our customers,
we are introducing BlueChoices, a new consumer-directed
product portfolio designed to replace our current
offerings of traditional, preferred and managed
care products. BlueChoices products include BlueEssentialsSM,
BluePreferred® and BlueClassicSM.
BlueChoices will initially be targeted to employer
groups who renew or become effective on or after
January 1, 2004. BlueChoices offers options in
benefits, deductibles and well-established provider
networks (Participating, Preferred Provider Plan
[PPP], Preferred Care and Access). The resulting
benefit-deductible-network combinations produce
a wide range of coverage and premiums. All benefit
designs encourage members to participate in decisions
concerning their health care. BlueChoices is
just the first in a generation of consumer-directed
products to be created as we continue to evaluate
the health-care environment and the needs of
our customers.
