Thank you to those who recommended calling Regence about MultiCare Continuity of Care info.
We got through by phone today and got continuity of care set up for both me and my spouse. I need it for just my PCP but my spouse needs it for at least a couple of specialists as well, as they are mid-test for some possibly serious issues.
Regence said they'd send a letter confirming the continuity of care and it would be into August, so that gives us time to find more specialists if we need to.
I was torn between ticked off about not having good healthcare choices in an area where so many state employees live, and thinking maybe it's time to move north. Then realized I can do both at the same time!
Anyway, call and get your continuity of care set up! Then get your providers set up as soon as you can.
