LAPRA offers you and your family three medical options:
All three plans provide coverage for preventive care, office visits, hospitalization, surgery and prescription drugs. The plans differ in co-payments, coinsurance, out-of-pocket costs, and provider choice. Plan highlights and monthly premiums may be found in your Enrollment Guide.
Kaiser HMO benefits are payable only when you use Kaiser providers and facilities. You must select a primary care physician to manage your health care, including referrals to specialists. You may self-refer to another Kaiser physician for routine and preventive care, well baby visits or OB/Gyn care. If you’d like a second opinion, you can ask to see another Kaiser physician. You may change your Kaiser physician at any time for any reason.
With the Kaiser HMO, there are no deductibles and no claim forms. You pay a $15 co-pay for most services. The annual out-of-pocket maximum is $1,500 per person and $3,000 per family. Worldwide emergency benefits are available when you travel away from home. This plan is only available to California residents.
