You can now cover employees inside and out with Kaiser Permanente Plus™ (KP Plus). With KP Plus, not only do employees benefit from the true value-based care, they also have the flexibility to keep their favorite out-of-network, doctors with up to 10 physician visits or outpatient medical services, and 5 prescription fills or refills annually, without the need for referrals or prior authorization. 

Effective January 1, 2026, Kaiser Permanente will be offering these new plans which will include Kaiser Permanente Plus in the plan name. Kaiser Permanente will still have their regular plans that do not include this out of network benefit.

Balancing Affordability, Provider Flexibility, and Quality Care

KP Plus uniquely addresses these needs through:
  • Ten covered out-of-network services and five prescription refills annually without referrals
  • Convenient, all-under-one-roof access to high-quality care
  • Generally lower monthly rates compared to typical PPO plans
  • A focus on accessible, often $0 copay preventive services that reduce chronic conditions and higher-cost treatments
Through their unique care-and-coverage model, payers and providers work together to prioritize health outcomes for patients. This means less time and money on unnecessary tests or treatments and an emphasis on preventive and proactive care – translating to a healthier workforce and savings in the long run.

With the added simplicity of working with one provider for all your employee health benefit needs, KP Plus is a competitive and great option for employees.
