Submitting Claims
Regence participating physicians, dentists, other
health care professionals and facilities
agree to bill us directly for covered services provided
to their Regence and Regence Life
and Health patients within one year of the date of
service.
Once coverage is verified patients should not be asked
for full payment at the time of service.
- Patients may be asked for copayments, coinsurance
and deductibles at the time of service.
- After services are rendered, the patient should
only be billed for any remaining deductible, copayment
and/or coinsurance amounts not collected and non-covered
services.

Regence strongly recommends submitting claims electronically.
Electronic billing is available for all Regence and
Regence Life and Health and BlueCard® out-of-area
