Easy to join

Kaiser Permanente provides the no-hassle way to better care. After you are enrolled, we’ll do all of this for you with a simple phone call.

Here’s what we’ll do
Doctor

Help you choose your doctor

Great care starts with a great doctor. We’ll talk about the kind of primary care doctor you’re looking for, from gender and languages spoken to location and age. We’ll help you choose a doctor for each member of your family: pediatricians, ob-gyns, and doctors in family practice or internal medicine. We have more than 1,700+ doctors across the region, many of whom are recognized as top doctors by reputable magazines, and they practice in our leading health system.1

Make your first appointment

Whether you want to see your doctor right away or wait a few a weeks, we’ll help get you on the books. We can connect you with your primary care doctor, pediatrician, ob-gyn, and more.

Rx

Transfer your prescriptions

Even while changing health plans, you won’t miss a dose. We’ll put you in touch with one of our clinical pharmacists to quickly and securely transfer your prescriptions to a Kaiser Permanente pharmacy of your choice.
