With the demand for competitive benefit plans playing an increasingly larger role in business decisions, it’s critical to your success to partner with organizations that can do more than simply provide a service; they must add value to your organization.

- Flexible plan designs and options – allow you to tailor your benefit package
With the increasing costs of health care, it’s become paramount for employers to find flexible, effective benefit solutions that meet the needs of their employees and their company.
In many cases, misaligned benefits can lead to over-utilization of certain benefits and under-utilization of other benefits—two significant contributors to the rise in health care costs. By closely matching your health plan with the needs of your company and your employees, you can mitigate this effect, providing increased value to your employees and ensuring greater return on your health care dollar.
The Vigilant suite of health plans are designed with these needs in mind. Each plan provides features and options that allow you to tailor your benefits to the needs of your employees and your business, resulting in a benefit package that combines the right mix of coverage, employee engagement and cost control.
- Promoting a healthy workforce – included in your Vigilant group plans
Because a small investment in the overall health and wellness of your employees can lead to huge savings down the road through cost-effective programs, Vigilant group plans include programs that encourage healthy habits, get members involved in their health care and lessen the likelihood of serious illness and injury. They create active participants by implementing an “advise, navigate and reward” model that educates members and offers incentives for positive behavior.
- Consumer Engagement – converting passive users into active participants
Helping employees take an active role in their health is an essential element in each Vigilant group plan. With myRegence.com, your employees have access to a complete source for benefits, health and wellness information, all designed to help them be more informed health care consumers and make better informed decisions about their health care. To date, over 500,000 members have become more informed health care consumers with myRegence.com.
- Account Management – ensuring flawless plan execution
Providing seamless coordination of plans, programs, and resources for member groups is a founding principle and core competency of the Vigilant / Regence partnership. With over 50 years of experience serving local and national businesses, you can rest assured we have the expertise and resources necessary to exceed your benefit plan execution expectations.
- The Regence Network Difference – across the country and around the world

Vision plans (Regence BlueCross BlueShield)
Vision problems can affect your employees’ quality of life and impair the efficiency of your workforce. Vision disorders cost employers money and lost productivity.
- Vision exams are good for more than eyesight
Regular vision exams can detect sight-related disorders in their earliest stages by identifying more serious health-related problems.
- One-stop services
By having both medical and vision coverage with Vigilant through Regence, you’ll experience streamlined administration, and your employees will appreciate having one point of access for information and resources for all their health care needs.
Vigilant Dental Plans
The ODS / Vigilant difference
Our Vigilant/ODS dental plans provide flexibility, cost savings and extra benefits to ensure your whole body stays healthy. As an employer, when you access ODS through Vigilant, you get a more competitive administration fee arrangement and have better stability year-to-year for your dental program.
- Freedom to choose your dentist
Wherever you go, ODS goes with you — as well as the nation’s largest dental network, Delta Dental. The ODS Delta Dental Premier network includes more than nine out of 10 practicing dentists in Oregon and Washington and three out of every four dentists nationwide, serving all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. With so many dentists participating in our network, you have the freedom to select a dentist that is right for you and your family.
- Total cost control
At ODS, things are done differently. Because ODS/Delta Dental requires their dentists to charge fees that fall below the negotiated fee ceiling, they provide total cost control to our members.
Life and Disability (Unum)
Vigilant has partnered with Unum to deliver “best in class “products and services that complement the benefit program offered by Vigilant. Putting together an employee package including employer paid Life and Disability along with Voluntary coverages can be costly and largely undervalued by employees if not communicated effectively. We worked with Unum to simplify this offering by providing you with a consolidated administrative platform, enhanced benefits and an easy approach to offering voluntary benefits to your employees at no cost to you.
