This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah helps people get the care they need without unnecessary stress. They support members with clear benefits, reliable service and a commitment to keeping health coverage straightforward and affordable. President, Jim Guemple, joins us with more.
Jim Guemple:
Rising health care costs are hitting Utah families and businesses hard. But Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah is fighting back, fiercely advocating for more affordable care for our members and customers.
We negotiate lower medical and prescription drug costs with hospitals, physicians and drug companies. As a local, trusted not-for-profit, we put members first — always. We’re accountable to you, not shareholders, not Wall Street.
More than 90 cents of every premium dollar is spent directly on medical care. The proof? Nine out of 10 members renew with Regence every year. They trust us to have their back when it matters most. Providing support, stability and real value.
We’re not just a health plan — we’re your advocate, your neighbor and your partner in the fight for affordable, high-quality coverage that truly puts your needs at the center and helps Utahns live better, healthier lives.
Derek Miller:
Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah continues to make a meaningful difference in our state, supporting communities through service, outreach and local partnerships. Their efforts help strengthen Utah, making care and resources more accessible to those who need them. I’m Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
