The Participating Traditional Network is the largest Regence BCBSU network and supports all traditional and indemnity products. Physicians, other health care professionals and facilities (providers) must participate with this network to be eligible to participate with any other Regence BCBSU network.

Two Preferred networks, BlueOption and ValueCare,  provide our members with greater choice in providers while receiving the highest benefit levels.

• Preferred BlueOption supports members on our Self-managed and Consumer Directed products ( Regence Innova^®, Engage^®, Activate^SM and HSA Healthplan 2.0^SM).
• Preferred ValueCare supports members on the same Self-managed and Consumer Directed products, as well as our ValueCare, Federal Employee Program (FEP) and BlueCard^® PPO members.
