Insurance and Cost of Care

Plans That Include Seattle Children’s

Is Seattle Children’s covered by your health insurance plan?

Below you will find a list of insurance companies that have contracts in place with Seattle Children’s and Children’s University Medical Group (CUMG) in order to provide in network medical care. However, many of the plans offered by these insurance companies require referrals and approved authorizations before care can be provided, and in some cases, Seattle Children’s and CUMG may not be in the highest benefit tier of your benefit plan meaning you could have higher cost sharing (e.g., copay, deductible, and/or coinsurance).

Check the current status of your plan and plan benefits

This list is updated yearly and may not reflect the current status of your plan. Also, coverage and authorization requirements change often. Please review your insurance plan benefits, network status, specialty care copays, annual deductible (both in-network and out-of-network), and coinsurance to understand your cost. See also Consumer Rights Under the Balance Billing Protection Act (PDF).

If you have questions, please call 206-987-5770 or email insuranceandbilling@seattlechildrens.org. If you have questions about your specific benefit plan, please connect with your insurance company.
