Added Choice® Point-of-Service High Deductible Health Plan

Glossary

Good news! We now have a new site for Added Choice members. Click here or go to kp.org/addedchoice/nw to find more information about your plan.

Your Kaiser Permanente Added Choice® Point-of-Service (POS) Plan is not just health coverage — it's a partnership in health.

You can choose any licensed physician to provide care nationwide, and receive preventive care at little or no cost from in-network providers. Online features let you manage most of your care around the clock.

Your benefits include:

  • a personal doctor for in-network medical care
  • freedom to visit any preferred provider or any licensed nonparticipating provider in the United States
  • no deductible to satisfy when care is in-network
  • coinsurance for most covered services after meeting your deductible, when receiving care from a nonparticipating provider
  • an out-of-pocket maximum that limits how much you'll spend on most covered services each year
  • no additional coinsurance needed for most covered services after the annual out-of-pocket maximum is met

Estimate your costs

As an Added Choice® member, you have access to all that Kaiser Permanente offers, plus the option to seek care from providers outside of our network.

The Added Choice Point of Service® plans let you choose among the benefit "tiers" when you receive covered services:

Tier 1—Select providers
Tier 2—PPO providers (Please refer to the Evidence of Coverage (EOC) if your plan includes this tier)
Tier 3—Non-participating providers

Tier 3 plan—Non-participating providers

If the provider you want to see is not a select provider (Tier 1 plan) or a PPO provider (Tier 2 plan), he or she falls into what we call the non-participating provider (Tier 3 plan) category.

If you are unsure whether or not your provider falls under the non-participating provider (Tier 3 plan) category, please contact Membership Services, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
