On July 9, 2024, Community Health Plan of Washington reinforced our commitment to be a leader in the pursuit of whole-person care and improving health outcomes for Washingtonians when we signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) as part of the Washington Multi-payer Collaborative.
The signing took place in Olympia, Washington, and was hosted by the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA). We’re honored to continue our partnership with the HCA and collaborate on this initiative to help ensure Washington residents have the opportunity to be as healthy as possible.
As part of the MOU, we committed to aligning on key policies, reducing administrative burden, and transforming the way primary care is delivered and supported. Our CEO Leanne Berge had the privilege of delivering remarks at the signing.
“We have a 30-year tradition of supporting primary care and we’re very excited about this MOU because it enables real traction across primary care in the state of Washington in a way that would not otherwise be possible,” she said. “When a smaller payer makes a difference that’s great, but you really need everybody combined in unity to see change and we’re all about making change for the benefit of our communities.”
At CHPW, we are driven to serve our local Washington communities and bring together people and resources to help our members live their healthiest lives.
We recognize the value of working together with primary care payers, purchasers, and providers on the Washington Multi-payer Collaborative and look forward to continuing our mission to provide accessible health care for all Washingtonians.
