up your medications — all without leaving the building.

Preventive care at no cost
We believe
prevention plays a vital role in health care. That’s why we
offer so many resources to help you stay healthy and happy, and
avoid getting sick.
To catch
problems early, we offer preventive screenings, routine
appointments, and more. Your electronic health record plays a
key role in this, tracking the services you get and reminding
your doctor when you’re due for care. No matter which Kaiser
Permanente plan you choose, there’s no cost for most preventive
care services.
Getting care away from home
If you get
sick or injured while traveling, we can help you get care. We

Why you need coverage
Health coverage is something you can't afford to be without.
Kaiser Permanente makes it easy for you to get great care and
coverage.
Health care reform - what you should know
Legally, most U.S. residents must have health coverage. If you
don't, you may have to pay a tax penalty to the federal
government.
Why choose Kaiser Permanente?
o
All our plans meet the standards of health care reform. They
offer the same basic services, such as doctor visits, hospital
care, prescriptions, and preventive care at no cost.
o
You can buy one of our plans from us or through the Health
Insurance Marketplaces.
Health coverage - why you need it
Almost everyone gets sick or hurt, or needs medical care at some
point. Health coverage helps you pay for the care you need to
get better — like seeing a doctor, staying in a hospital, or
taking medication.
Health coverage also covers care that helps you stay healthy.
Preventive care — like mammograms and cholesterol tests — can
help catch health problems early, when they're easier to treat.
Without coverage, paying for all this care can be difficult.
High medical bills can even wipe out savings.
You may qualify for federal financial assistance
Do you need help paying for health care? Under health care
reform, the federal government will provide federal financial
assistance for many people, depending on their income.
3 things to know:
o
Financial assistance is available for premiums and out-of-pocket
expenses.
o
If you qualify for assistance, the federal government will pay
it directly to us.
o
Assistance is available on a sliding scale, based on income and
family size.
