Accountable Communities of Health
AWHP health plans are part of the nine accountable communities of health formed in Washington to address health care needs in context: What affects health care in a community, and how can we improve health by improving the community?
Office of the Insurance Commissioner
The OIC regulates health carriers, approving the premium rates filed with the Commissioner, reviewing provider network plans, monitoring the financial solvency of health plans and enacting rules governing their operations. We provide comments on proposed rules, and work with the Commissioner's staff to keep Washington's health coverage market financially strong and competitive.
Washington Healthplan Finder - Health Benefit Exchange
Medicaid and individual market enrollees shop for health plan coverage on the Exchange. Health plans participate in the Exchange's many work groups. Dedicated premium tax is paid by health plans to pay for the Exchange operation.
Washington State Health Insurance Pool
Premium tax on health care coverage pays for the high risk pool plan that covers people living in counties without other health insurance for sale.
