BeniComp
Effective January 1, 2026
-
BeniComp is the company that runs our medical plan behind the scenes. They are not a doctor or hospital. They handle things like:
• Processing medical claims
• Managing the provider network
• Helping make sure the plan works correctly
-
BeniComp uses different doctor networks depending on where you live:
• First Choice Health Network will be the medical network for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho employees and dependents.
-
Possibly. If your provider participated in the Cigna network, they may not automatically be in the new network. You should verify whether your provider participates in First Choice Health. You should check that your doctor is in the new network before your next appointment.
-
You may pay more out of pocket, or the visit may not be covered. This is why checking your provider is important. 6 Degrees Health will assist with out of network coverage access issues. See the 6 Degrees Out-of-Network page for more information.
-
Most covered services stay the same, but the doctors and hospitals you can use may change.
-
• On the day your plan becomes active, you will have access to a digital copy of your insurance card in the BeniComp portal.
• To request a replacement of the physical copy of your insurance card, you can chat with a BeniComp member advocate in your member portal.
• Providers can verify your plan by calling BeniComp at (866) 797-3343 or by going to benicomp.com/provider.
