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.
How do I find a provider?
Visit one of UMP's online provider directories.

Note: If you have a Regence account, do not sign in to find doctors available in UMP (SEBB). Your current Regence account will only show providers for your 2019 plan. Instead, search for providers under "For guests." Once your UMP (SEBB) membership becomes active, sign in to find a network provider based on your plan.
