About
Community Health Plan of Washington (CHPW) has been committed to providing quality health care to families in Washington since its establishment in 1992. Founded by community health centers in the state, CHPW was founded with the goal of serving those who were not adequately covered by traditional health insurance, thus introducing a not-for-profit model to managed care. This model allows them to focus on the welfare and health needs of the community rather than profits. CHPW primarily offers a range of health plans, including Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and Individual and Family health plans. With a core belief in the power of community, CHPW endeavors to go beyond just medical services. The organization works diligently to provide a holistic approach to health care that includes mental health and social support, empowering members to achieve optimal health. Their extensive network includes thousands of medical professionals and specialists across Washington State, ensuring comprehensive health coverage. CHPW reinvests its earnings back into community health centers, supporting initiatives aimed at enhancing care and expanding services that address not only medical needs but also social determinants of health. This commitment emphasizes their goal of accessible and culturally relevant health care for all residents of Washington.
