As a Group Health member, you can consult with most Group Health specialists at Group Health-owned or
operated medical centers without a referral from your personal physician. Consultations with non-Group Health specialists require a referral from your personal physician.
Women may self-refer to obstetricians and gynecologists, advanced registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs), certified nurse-midwives, and physician assistants.
Spokane-area members may self-refer for hematology, oncology, and physical therapy at Spokane-area medical centers.
Alliant health plan members may select a personal physician from Group Health, The Everett Clinic, or Virginia Mason Medical Center. If you select your personal physician from Group Health or The Everett Clinic, you will need a referral for specialty care at Virginia Mason.
