Regence believes that cost and quality data is the kind of fundamental information members need to inform their health care decision-making. In 2007, Regence committed to launching a series of online tools designed to give our members information about cost, quality and other dimensions that they have identified as important. Since that time, we have launched three features to our member Web site, myRegence.com.

As part of this effort, Regence is committed to ensuring our community of more than three million members to have access to:

• Reliable and relevant cost and price information
• Comprehensive quality information developed and delivered through a community model
• An online environment where they can support, dialogue and engage with other members
• Broad self-reporting by providers about their practice philosophy, areas of specialty, recognition and achievements, etc.
• The ability to share their experiences with provider visits and to view survey results and comments posted by other members

By providing useful quality and cost information to our members, we are creating a culture where patients learn to access and experience value in health care.
