We’ve all been led to believe that the way health care operates today is how it’s supposed to be. Taking your records from doctor to doctor. Searching for specialists. Driving from one location to the next. Spending time away from work. And since all these hassles seem to be built into health care, we don’t think we have any other choice but to live with it. But you do have another choice. Kaiser Permanente is different from other health plans.
We’re built for the way people live today. And we’re the region’s leading health system.1 This means every part of your care — health plan, doctors, pharmacists, specialists, diagnostics, and even medical facilities — is designed to work together. It also means that our doctors and the quality of care they deliver have been recognized as part of one of the top-rated health plans in the region.2 Learn more about how an integrated system works.
In 2023, we received the highest rating in the region — a 5 out of 5 — for our commercial health plan.2 And in the survey Best Health Insurance Companies of 2024 by Insure.com, Kaiser Permanente as a national enterprise is rated #1 overall among 70+ competitors, for the fourth year in a row.
In our integrated system, your entire care team shares information with one another through your digital health record. This helps them customize your care based on your specific health needs, lifestyle, and preferences.
We employ advanced technologies and techniques to deliver care, such as remote monitoring and doctor-to-doctor video consultations. And thanks to our own research division, we also offer you access to the latest in medical explorations and clinical trials.
We make it easy for you to get care. In addition to in-person visits, our telehealth options — video visits,3 24/7 phone advice from a nurse, same-day virtual care with no appointment, and Mail Order Pharmacy4 — let you stay on top of your care from anywhere.
