We accept the following health insurance plans. If you are calling for a Behavioral Health appointment, please check with your insurance carrier for benefits and a listing of their participating network providers. Always check your coverage with your insurance carrier if you have questions.
It is always a good idea to call your insurance carrier about specific care you might seek or be referred to. That way you can learn in advance what your out-of-pocket costs might be. Read more tips on getting the most out of your insurance.

2023 Medicare Options Accepted
- Traditional Medicare (Part B)*
- Medicare Prescription Drug coverage (Part D) – at Maxor pharmacies located in PacMed clinics
- Medicare Advantage (Part C) – PacMed accepts a variety of these plans. Please see each insurer below for their specific Medicare Advantage plans where we are in network.
- Medicare Supplemental (“Medigap”) plans can also be used to pay for care at PacMed; these plans pay secondary to Medicare and may cover an additional percentage of Medicare Part B-eligible services. PacMed accepts all Medigap plans for those who also have Medicare as primary insurance.
* Note: Medicare Part A coverage is hospital insurance; PacMed does not have a hospital so this coverage does not apply. Please check with our affiliated hospital in your area about their Medicare Part A policy in case of hospital admissions.
2023 Group, Exchange and Other Plans Accepted
Start by looking for your insurance carrier’s name, then search for your plan under the category it falls within:

- Exchange and Individual Plans – available to purchase individually on the Washington State Health Insurance Exchange

Vision Care Coverage
- PacMed does not accept separate vision insurance products (such as VSP, Davis Vision, EyeMed, Humana Vision, etc.) for routine/preventative eye care from any outside insurance provider. Vision care with PacMed is only typically covered if it is included in your medical plan’s “Summary of Benefits,” and/or associated with a medical issue (such as diabetes eye care). Even if a medical condition is present, some of your exam may not be covered if you have a separate vision plan.Before seeking vision treatment, we highly recommend that you CALL YOUR INSURANCE CARRIER and ask whether the services you are seeking are covered at PacMed. (If they confirm, ask for a call reference number for your records.)
Getting the Most Out of Your Health Insurance
We’ve put together some helpful tips to save you time and help you get the most out of your medical insurance. To maximize your health insurance benefits, please contact your insurance company’s Customer Service department for policy and benefit verification. The Customer Service phone number should be located on the back of your health insurance ID card.
- Please check with your insurance carrier for information on required referrals, authorizations and co-payments.
- Ask your insurance company about any upcoming procedures or visits to confirm coverage (see below)
- Please bring your insurance card to every appointment.
As with everything, good communication is the key to working well with insurance companies. Because policies vary, it’s important to contact your insurance company directly to confirm how your plan will pay charges for services and to keep records of the conversations.
1) Prior to your visit, ask your provider or care team:
- Is this a routine exam (i.e. an annual exam or physical)?
- Please note, if your visit is a routine annual exam or physical, your doctor will not be able to address questions about specific symptoms or health concerns, per insurance company contracts and rules. If you discuss medical issues outside the scope of a routine annual exam or physical, we are required to include that in our notes which will result in the visit being upgraded to a regular office exam, and may no longer be covered 100% by your insurance.
- What procedure (CPT) codes will likely apply to my visit/course of treatment?
2) Then, call your insurance company with your questions about their coverage of your upcoming visit. Some things you might ask:
- Do I have benefit coverage for (service name/CPT code)?
- Is a referral or preauthorization necessary to have this service? (If yes, your primary care provider must initiate the referral or preauthorization.)
- Do I have a deductible?
- Following my deductible, how much will I owe?
- How much will I be responsible for paying following the insurance coverage?
- What is the call reference number for this conversation? (use this in case you need to refer back to the call later if there are any disputes).
