PeaceHealth and Regence reach deal, end stalemate over reimbursement rates
PeaceHealth and Regence broke their impasse over reimbursement rates Friday, March 11 - just weeks before a March 31 deadline that would have required thousands of Whatcom County residents to pay more or travel out of the county for medical care.
The new agreement between PeaceHealth, the county's largest health-care provider, and a major health insurer runs through June 2013.
