Kaiser Permanente Plus™ (KP Plus) plans will now be available in California. Quoting begins 10/1/2025, with plan effective dates starting 1/1/2026.

 KP Plus combines the high-quality, coordinated care Kaiser Permanente is known for with the added flexibility of limited out-of-network access. It’s designed for groups that value Kaiser Permanente’s affordability and outcomes but also want choice when it comes to providers.  
  

### What This Means for Brokers

KP Plus helps you expand your client conversations by offering:

- **More options for your groups —** Clients can keep Kaiser Permanente in their benefits package while giving employees the flexibility to see a favorite out-of-network provider.
- **Built-in flexibility —** Each year, members can use: 
    - 10 out-of-network office visits and covered outpatient medical services
    - 5 out-of-network prescription fills or refills
- **Competitive pricing —** Lower monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs compared to PPO and POS options.
- **Retention and recruitment value —** Employers gain a versatile benefit that helps attract and retain employees, while simplifying administration through a single carrier.

### How KP Plus Works for Members

- **In-network:** Fully coordinated care through Kaiser Permanente providers and facilities, with the lowest out-of-pocket costs. Preventive care at no cost, plus robust telehealth and digital tools.
- **Out-of-network:** Access to any licensed provider in the country for up to 10 covered services per year, plus 5 prescription fills.

### KP Plus PLANS ARE IDEAL FOR GROUPS THAT:

- Have employees with existing out-of-network doctor relationships
- Want options outside Kaiser Permanente
- Need access to care beyond a Kaiser service area
- May be new to Kaiser Permanente but want to ease into the network while maintaining current provider ties

### PARTICIPATION AND ENROLLMENT:

- Standard Kaiser minimums apply
- The same requirements hold when offered alongside another carrier or in multi-plan scenarios
- Available to small and large businesses in all Kaiser service areas
- Members must live or work in a Kaiser service area to be eligible; out-of-network benefits extend across the U.S. and its territories

**For brokers, KP Plus means new opportunities to meet clients’ needs with a plan that balances affordability, flexibility and access.**
