"Media contact: Public Affairs, (360) 725-7055"
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington state Insurance Commissioner Patty Kuderer issued fines totaling $828,500 for insurance law violations in July, August, September, and early October of 2025. That included a $100,000 fine for Regence BlueShield, which incorrectly denied 954 claims for treatment, and a $550,000 fine against Premera — announced in August — for violations of the Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and Washington’s provider directory regulations.
The third-quarter total brings the amount collected since 2001 to over $44 million, which the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) sends to the state’s general fund to pay for state services.
