Uniform Medical Plan (UMP) | This is a health plan offered to Washington state public employees (active and retired) and their dependents. This coverage falls under the jurisdiction of the Washington State Health Care Authority and is subject to Washington state’s Patient Bill of Rights. This means that while it has a plan-specific appeal process, many of the rights available to consumers in state-regulated plans will also be available to consumers with this coverage. |
