OHSU and Regence BlueCross BlueShield reach new agreement

OHSU and Regence BlueCross BlueShield reached agreement on new multi-year contracts on August 27, 2026. All Regence members can continue their in-network care through Dec. 31, 2026, as part of an approved transition period.  

What this means for 2027: 

• OHSU remains in-network for Regence employer-sponsored and other commercial plans.   
• OHSU will no longer be in-network for Regence Medicare Advantage and individual plans.

No changes for employer-sponsored plans

OHSU, OHSU Hospital, OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital, OHSU clinics and OHSU health care professionals will remain in network for Regence employer-sponsored and other commercial health plans. Most Regence members can continue getting care at OHSU with no changes. 

Hillsboro Medical Center has also reached a separate agreement with Regence. Most Regence members can continue getting care at Hillsboro Medical Center with no changes.

Changes for some Regence plans
