What are my plan options?
With the Uniform Medical Plan, you may choose from the plans listed below. Remember, if you cover eligible dependents, everyone must enroll in the same medical plan. Learn more about the plans.
- UMP Achieve 1
- UMP Achieve 2
- UMP High Deductible
- UMP Plus—Puget Sound High Value Network
- UMP Plus—UW Medicine Accountable Care Network
UMP Plus—Puget Sound High Value Network (PSHVN) does not have primary care network providers for adults in Thurston County at this time due to limited access. Pediatric primary care as well as adult and pediatric specialty care remains available in the Olympia area. This means that you and any adult dependents may need to travel to another county served by UMP Plus—PSHVN for primary care services from a network provider. Telehealth services through PSHVN may also be an appropriate option for some primary care needs.

Do I live in the medical plan's service area?
In most cases, you must live or work in the medical plan’s service area to join the plan. All school employees are offered a selection of plans based on their county of residence or the county where their school district, charter school, or educational service district is based. Some school employees may have more plan options if they work in a district that crosses county lines.
Be sure to call the plans you are interested in to ask about provider availability in your county. If you move out of your plan's service area, you may need to change plans. You must report your new address to your payroll or benefits office no later than 60 days after your move.
