Did you know your employees may get some office visits covered in full as well as lower copays by designating an in-network primary care provider (PCP) through their Premera health plan? These office visits are in addition to a no-cost visit for preventive services.
View your medical plan benefits for complete details. Your employees will find their benefit summary details by signing in to their Premera account and selecting My Premera Plan.
Share with your employees instructions on how to designate a PCP
Premera makes it easy for you to tell your employees how to designate a PCP with ready-to-share communications on B’link. From the homepage, just enter PCP in the search box on the top-right corner of the page to find Designating a PCP—messaging in three lengths, an email, and a flyer!
Your employees can designate a PCP any time. They just need to make the designation prior to the office visit. They can do this by logging in to their member account on premera.com.
