When your Medicaid or Medi-Cal coverage ends, you have a variety of options to stay covered, including:
- A Kaiser Permanente individual or family plan
- You can buy an individual or family plan directly through Kaiser Permanente or your state’s health benefit exchange.
- Financial assistance may be available. To see if you qualify, visit buykp.org.
- Employer-sponsored coverage from your employer or through a spouse, domestic partner, or parent (for children up to age 26). Each employer or organization has their own enrollment rules, so check for eligibility information.
- Medicare plans if you’re 65 or older. Some people with disabilities under 65 are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid or Medi-Cal. If you’re enrolled in a Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) and no longer qualify for Medicaid, you’ll need to choose a different Medicare plan. To learn about your Medicare plan options, visit kp.org/medicare or call 1-855-832-0353 (TTY 711), 7 days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m, to speak with a Kaiser Permanente Medicare specialist.
