First Choice Health

First Choice Health is a physician- and hospital-owned healthcare services company based in Seattle that provides provider network access, health plan administration, medical management, and employee assistance program services. Founded in 1985, the company originated as a PPO network in the Seattle area and has expanded across Washington and the Northwestern United States. Its business is focused on administering and supporting healthcare benefits rather than developing therapeutics, with services for employers, payors, providers, and members. First Choice Health highlights a large independent PPO network, custom health plan administration capabilities, and cost-containment and utilization-management services. The company serves more than one million people and operates as an active commercial healthcare organization rather than a biotech or pharma developer.
