** If you travel out of state, phone appointments and video visits may not be available due to state laws that may prevent doctors and health care providers from providing care across state lines. Laws differ by state. If you have an HSA-qualified deductible plan, you may need to pay the full charges for scheduled phone appointments and video visits until you reach your deductible. Once you reach your deductible, you won’t pay anything for scheduled phone appointments and video visits. If you have an HMO Plus or DHMO Plus plan, you can access care from non-network providers within Kaiser Permanente service areas. You will be charged an out-of-network copay.
