An important announcement from PacificSource
As PacificSource monitors the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), our aim is to keep you informed about the actions we’re taking to help optimize member access to care.

Because our priority is the safety and well-being across all populations, we will continue to follow the standards and recommendations of state health authorities in addressing the impact of the disease.
No-cost coronavirus testing
