We’re excited to announce that our new Kaiser Permanente Plus (KP Plus) plans are now available for small and large groups in Oregon and Washington (Clark & Cowlitz Counties) for the 2023 plan year.

KP Plus gives employees access to high-quality care from Kaiser Permanente and affiliated providers, along with the flexibility to get care from out-of-network providers for a limited number of services each year.

Lower costs with Kaiser Permanente’s fully coordinated, quality care

With KP Plus, your employees get access to Kaiser Permanente physicians and specialists in Oregon and SW Washington, all of whom are connected to their patients’ electronic health record, helping them coordinate the care journey.

Your employees also get the lowest out-of-pocket costs compared to care with out-of-network providers and there are no claims to file when they get care with a Kaiser Permanente physician.

Our focus on making the care experience more convenient for our members also helps your employees. Most medical offices offer many services conveniently under one roof, including pharmacy, imaging, lab, and primary care physicians or specialists. Members can access quality care from wherever they are by utilizing services like e-visits, scheduled phone and video visits, emailing their doctor, and our mail-order pharmacy.

The freedom to see your favorite out-of-network provider

What makes KP Plus different is that your employees can receive care from any licensed care provider in the country, up to 10 physician or covered outpatient medical services each year. If you have a provider you’re already familiar with, you don’t have to switch. Your visits will still be covered, as long as you don’t exceed the annual service limit.

You’ll still also have a Kaiser Permanente primary care physician, who you can choose or change any time, to coordinate your in-network care.

Some services are not covered out-of-network, such as inpatient services, outpatient surgery, maternity care, advanced imaging, dental care, and vision care.
