    With more scammers trying to take advantage of job seekers, we want to share a few notes on the Premera hiring process: - If you’re selected to interview for a role you’ve applied for, outreach will come from a premera.com email address. - You will never be asked to fill out a credit check or similar form prior to an interview with Premera. To everyone who has applied for a role at Premera, we thank you and wish you good luck in your job search.

    Primary care is essential for a healthy community. It’s where patients build relationships with their providers and have a trusted advocate to help them navigate their healthcare journey. Unfortunately, Washington currently only has 39% of the estimated primary care providers needed to adequately serve our residents. It is crucial for everyone in the healthcare industry to work together on this issue, and that’s why I’m excited Premera Blue Cross has joined the Washington Multi-payer Collaborative. By addressing provider shortages and reducing administrative burdens, we aim to ensure everyone can receive the care they need, when they need it.  #PrimaryCare #WA #HealthcareinWA

    The relationship between patient and primary care provider is at the very foundation of our healthcare system. But accessing primary care is often more difficult than it needs to be. That's why Dr. Steve Jacobson, Medical Director for Premera, was in Olympia today to join Washington State Health Care Authority, providers, healthcare organizations, and payers from across the state in signing a memorandum of understanding aimed at easing administrative burdens and aligning on policies that support Washington's primary care providers. Alongside our partners in the Washington Multi-payer Collaborative, we will be working to make Washington a better place for primary care providers to practice by implementing changes that let them spend more time with patients and less time with paperwork. #healthcarepolicy #primarycare #primarycareproviders

    In the healthcare industry, there's often talk about being the best. However, what we truly need is the drive to continually improve in being "the best in getting better". At Premera Blue Cross our healthcare services team embodies this ethos every day as we serve our members. I was incredibly proud when our quality team received the Pink award at the FEP forum (Federal Employee Program) recognizing our commitment to being the best in continually getting better. Kudos to John Sullivan, Wilhelmina D. Danae Silva and rest of the team.

    The gender transition process can be a long one, with stops and starts along the way. Over the course of that journey, it can help a lot to know you have someone on your side. That's why Premera's single-point-of-contact model helps transgender and non-binary members who are seeking gender-affirming care develop lasting, long-term relationships with clinicians who can support them. #Pride #PrideMonth #Pride2024

    As #PrideMonth draws to a close, it's a good opportunity to reflect on how we, as organizations and individuals alike, can be better allies to the LGBTQIA+ community generally - not just one month at a time. In the interest of maintaining the energy of #Pride all year long, we're sharing some history and thoughts on what the Premera team is doing to support our LGBTQIA+ colleagues and members, as well as what each of us can do in our own lives. https://lnkd.in/gB-Cexit

    The Premera Blue Cross team is proud to be included on Newsweek’s list of America’s Greatest Workplaces for 2024. Everyone at Premera shows up every day with one goal in mind – improving the lives of our customers by making healthcare work better for them. That shared passion shows up in everything we do, and our collective commitment is always front and center, whether we’re grabbing lunch together in the cafeteria or collaborating on Teams. And if you need further proof that Premera’s people make this a special place to work, this wasn’t the only recognition we received from the Newsweek team, who also named Premera one of their Greatest Workplaces for Mental Wellbeing. It’s great to be honored for what we already know to be true – that Premera’s employees are serious about taking care of our members, and about taking care of one another.

    The process of obtaining gender-affirming care can be complex and stressful for transgender and non-binary people. That's why we have Personal Health Support Clinicians like Andrea Donovan-Dupont available to make the process easier for Premera members to navigate. Clinicians like Andrea understand that every gender transition process is as unique as the person seeking care, and they're here to help Premera's members find providers and access the care they need, every step of the way. #Pride #PrideMonth #Pride2024
