What does “choice” get you in traditional health care? Redundant and expensive tests. Having to take your medical information from doctor to doctor and back. The burden of finding a specialist on your own. Physicians who don’t work together in the best interest of your health unless YOU make them. Insurers who make the decisions about your care and treatment—not you and your doctor.
Why not choose something different—like a health system that combines both care and coverage in support of your overall health and wellness? That’s Kaiser Permanente.
In our system, all our doctors are connected to each other to collaborate on your care, supported by pharmacists, nurses, diagnostic technicians, wellness coaches, nutritionists, and your health plan. So, you never have to act as a middleman with your medical history or billing. You’re never left on your own to search for specialty care. You never have to look in multiple locations for important health information. And you and your doctor decide on the right treatment for you—not the insurance company. So, you always get precisely the care you need. To us, the choice seems pretty clear.

And, Kaiser Permanente’s health plan is top-rated in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC.3 Permanente doctors are recruited from top medical schools and rigorously vetted before joining the Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group. In fact, only 1 applicant out of 10 becomes a Permanente physician.
In our integrated system, your entire team personalizes your care by sharing information through your electronic medical record. So, you never need to carry your paperwork from doctor to doctor. And your team can customize your care based on your specific health needs, lifestyle, and preferences.
We make it easy for you to get care. In addition to in-person visits, our telehealth options—video visits,5 24/7 phone advice from a nurse, prescription home delivery—let you stay on top of your care from anywhere.
We employ advanced technologies and techniques, such as remote monitoring and doctor to doctor video consultations, to deliver care. And thanks to our own research division, which includes the study of infectious diseases, we also offer you access to the latest in medical explorations and clinical trials.
