Be Prepared for Upcoming Provider Agreement Changes

Premera Blue Cross is introducing a new provider agreement. For most providers already part of Premera’s network, the agreement takes effect in November 2026. For new providers joining Premera’s network, effective dates begin this summer.

Some operational provisions of the new agreement will be phased in over several months after the contract goes into effect. This will allow Premera to complete the system work associated with some of the changes. The phased operational rollout does not waive, modify, or limit any rights or obligations under the agreement. Premera reserves all rights and intends to enforce the provisions once operational. Providers will receive advance notice before changes go live.

Premera is committed to supporting you during this transition. Check our provider agreement FAQ for more information.
