LifeWise and MultiCare reach an agreement to remain in network

LifeWise Health Plan of Washington and MultiCare have reached an agreement in principle and are finalizing the details of a new contract. MultiCare remains in-network today, and members can continue receiving care as they do today while the parties finalize the remaining contract details. Members do not need to take any action.

What this means

• MultiCare remains in-network for LifeWise members.
• Members can continue seeing MultiCare providers and using facilities without interruption.
• Members and employer groups do not need to take any action.

A milestone for members and customers

Throughout these discussions, our focus has remained the same: protecting access to care while helping keep health care affordable for the employers, families, and communities we serve.

This milestone gives members and customers clarity and allows them to focus on their health care rather than contract negotiations.

LifeWise remains committed to a long-term solution that supports access to high-quality care and uses members’ health care dollars responsibly. We are pleased that both organizations have found a path forward and are working together on a final agreement.

What happens next

LifeWise and MultiCare are finalizing the remaining contract details. We’ll share more information when appropriate.

We appreciate the work both organizations have done to reach this point and look forward to continuing our relationship with MultiCare in support of the communities we serve.
