Kaiser Permanente Increases Out-of-State Benefits
Posted: October 02, 2024
Your insurance just got an upgrade.
As of August 1st, 2022, Kaiser Permanente secured several partnerships with organizations like Cigna PPO Network, MinuteClinic® and Concentra, providing you and your dependents, clients and members with coverage anywhere they travel in the United States. Whether you’re going on business trips or personal vacations, having traveling health insurance with Kaiser Permanente ensures your family or employees can receive treatment at any time.
Routine Care Services
With the recent influx of remote work availability, extended trips and vacations are more popular than ever. Alongside them, telehealth and over-the-phone appointments are in high demand. Kaiser’s out-of-state health benefits for California mean that anyone can schedule an appointment in whatever form is most comfortable for them, in any state with Kaiser Permanente facilities, like:
- California
- Oregon
- Washington
- Colorado
- Georgia
- Virginia
- Maryland
- Hawaii
Urgent Care Services
Even when traveling out of state and getting away from California, you need the same health insurance benefits for you and your loved ones. With this updated travel insurance, you can get urgent care anywhere in the world. If you go to any of these locations, you won’t even have to file a claim — just pay the copay or coinsurance:
- Cigna PPO Network
- Concentra
- MinuteClinic®, including pharmacies
If you’re in a Kaiser Permanente state, you may also have access to 24/7 phone or video support. Otherwise, you can go to any location, pay full price for service, then file a reimbursement claim.
Emergency Care Services
When you have an emergency, you can take care of it now and think about paying later. If you can’t reach a Cigna or Kaiser Permanente location, simply file a claim for reimbursement after receiving care. If you get to an in-network provider, you’ll pay your coinsurance or copay without needing to file a claim.
Secure Your Travel Future
Traveling out of state and going on vacation is essential to wellness, but it opens you, your dependents and clients up to sudden injury and illness. When something goes wrong, ensure you’re covered so you can get treatment for any ailment and return to your life as soon as possible.
Kaiser Permanente health insurance provides a better way to take care of business. Whatever health services you and your clients need, wherever you are in the country, you can rest assured you’ll have the care you deserve to recover and be at your best any time you travel.
