With your Kaiser Permanente HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plan, you get a wide range of care and support to help you stay healthy. The Kaiser Permanente HMO is a staff model HMO plan, which means that Kaiser owns its own facilities and employs physicians. You must choose a Kaiser doctor as your primary care physician to be your first point of contact, coordinate your care, and make referrals. You also must receive services from Kaiser or obtain authorization from Kaiser before obtaining care outside the HMO.
You pay a copay at the time of service ($25 for a primary care visit and $50 for a specialty visit), then you are covered at 100% of authorized services with no deductibles.
Note: The Kaiser Permanente HMO plan is not available to employees represented by CNA Keck/Norris, NUHW Keck, and NUHW Norris (see Anthem MyChoice HMO instead).
