Since its inception nearly 12 years ago, Sacramento-based Western Health Advantage has become a
high-quality alternative for local business owners interested in providing affordable, responsive
health coverage for their employees.
Western Health Advantage is a radical departure from most HMO's and health insurance companies,
emphasizing access to care instead of bureaucracy and profit margins. As a result, Western Health
Advantage successfully provides its members with reasonably-priced health care without sacrificing
service, quality or flexibility.
Western Health Advantage is a not-for-profit company that was founded by a group of Sacramento and Solano doctors
and health care providers. In keeping with its local mission, the company serves employers and
their employees in Sacramento, Yolo, Solano, western El Dorado, and western Placer counties.
Representatives of those founding sponsors, UC Davis Health System, Mercy Healthcare (CHW), and
NorthBay Healthcare, continue to serve as the organization’s Board of Directors.
Customer service, affordability and access to quality care are Western Health Advantage's guiding
principles. This commitment can be seen in the breadth of health coverage options, extensive network
of nationally-recognized doctors and award-winning local customer service team. Western Health Advantage
was rated California's #1 health plan for member satisfaction in the most recent survey conducted by the
state's Office of the Patient Advocate*.
Whether you're offering health benefits for the first time or switching providers to cut costs instead
of coverage, Western Health Advantage will support your business with a health care plan that is affordable,
approachable and exceptional.
