Broker

NET remains committed to the small employer marketplace, and we believe our Northwest Employers Trust format can produce favorable long-term pricing. Our plans are targeted to groups with a healthy workforce that may qualify for a preferred risk pool.

	We believe in the significant service provided by independent agents and brokers.
	We believe smaller employers should have the same value added services and features as larger groups.
	We have a special understanding of the client/broker relationship and an appreciation of how our service can enhance and reflect favorably on that relationship.
	We listen to questions and respond like we would expect our own problems to be addressed.
	Our ultimate objective is longer-term rate stability.

The Regence networks of providers are the largest and most respected in the state. The NET plans access the Regence Preferred Network for PPO plans. Nationally, the vast Blue Card system is available and is expanding internationally as well. This gives NET groups the largest network of providers in the world from which to select. In Eastern Washington, NET accesses the Asuris Preferred Network and their Beech Street National Network.

Both PPO plans and POS are available. Our PPO plans waive the deductible for physician services in the office and outpatient diagnostic and tests performed outside the hospital. A $10,000 life insurance is automatically included in all our plan options with the option to increase to $15,000 or $25,000 for the group.
