Save Money on Your Health Care 
With Help from Regence.com

With the innovative tools and helpful tips on Regence.com, you can get more out of your benefits, become a better informed health care consumer, and save money, too. Take a look at just a few ways to help your budget as well as your overall wellness.
  1. Estimate your treatment costs: Learn about treatment options for a specific health condition. Find out the cost of care, as well as the average time it takes from first office visit to recuperation.
  2. Find a doctor in your network: Find the best doctor, clinic, or hospital and make sure you'll get the maximum in-network benefit. Plus, rate your latest doctor visit to help other members make better-informed decisions.
  3. Compare hospitals: Research the best hospital based on your location, preferences, type of procedure, or health condition, and find out what other members have to say about their experiences.
  4. Find alternatives to the emergency room: Urgent care, walk-in, and retail clinics have different costs and different levels and types of services available. Learn which one makes the most sense for your needs, and find a location nearby-and in your network.
  5. Get discounts: Save money on the products and services that can help you achieve your healthy goals through Regenece's Advantages Discounts. Get discounts on gym memberships, weight loss programs, alternative medicine, and more.
