Kaiser Permanente is offering a program which, provides affordable health care coverage to low-income adults and children, and applications for the program are due by Jan. 31, according to a press release from Kaiser.
The program is accessible through various Kaiser facilities, including the Redwood City Kaiser.
Kaiser Permanente’s Community Health Care Program is designed for individuals lacking access to other public or private health insurance forms. Qualified applicants receive comprehensive health coverage from Kaiser Permanente, including preventive services, without the burden of monthly premiums. According to a press release, most treatments at Kaiser facilities, such as the Redwood City Kaiser, do not require copays or additional out-of-pocket costs.
Eligibility for the program includes a total household income that falls between 138% to 300% of the federal poverty level. Applicants must not be eligible for other health coverage, such as Medi-Cal, Medicare, job-based health plans, or Covered California, and they must live in a Kaiser Permanente California service area, including areas near the Redwood City Kaiser.
Applications can be submitted online at www.kp.org/chcp. The website features an easy-to-use application form, and for those needing assistance, there is a list of community agencies that can provide help. Kaiser Permanente Member Services is also available for support at 1-800-464-4000 (TTY 711).
