Your clients shouldn’t pay more for the care they need. By designating and using a primary care provider (PCP), they could save money on copays.
What your clients can save
Most health plans from LifeWise Health Plan of Washington give members a cost break when they see their designated PCP. Depending on the plan, members can get PCP visits covered in full or at half the cost of a non-PCP visit.
See the table for an example of how your clients can save money with a PCP with their 2019 LifeWise Essential health plans.
