Why you need coverage Health coverage is something you can’t afford to be without. Kaiser Permanente makes it easy for you to get great care and coverage.



Health care reform — what you should know It’s now the law that most U.S. residents must have health coverage. If you go without it, you may have to pay a tax penalty to the federal government. When you do your taxes for 2015, you’ll have to submit a form to show proof you had health coverage to avoid the penalty (or show proof that you aren’t required to have coverage because you qualify for an exemption). Why choose Kaiser Permanente? ■



15



All the plans you’ll see in this enrollment guide meet the standards of the new health care law, and offer the same basic services, such as doctor visits, hospital care, prescriptions, and preventive care at no cost. You can buy one of our plans from us or through the Health Insurance Marketplaces.

Health coverage — why you need it Almost everyone gets sick or hurt, or needs medical help at some point. To get better, you usually need care — like seeing a doctor, staying in a hospital, or taking medication. On top of that, health care helps keep you healthy. Preventive care — like mammograms and cholesterol tests — can help catch health problems early, when they’re easier to treat. Health coverage helps you pay for all this care and protects you financially — much like the coverage people get to protect their car or home. Without coverage, high medical bills can wipe out savings and even lead to personal bankruptcy.

Join our 4-star health plan today We’re proud to be awarded the highest rating of 4 stars from Covered California because of our quality doctors, care, customer service, and access.* But we’re even happier knowing that we can help our members statewide be their healthiest. *These scores are based on California data collected by the nationally recognized Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS).

Important deadlines There’s a deadline to apply for health care coverage, whether you apply during open enrollment or during a special enrollment period.

31 To enroll during this open enrollment period, you must make sure we receive your completed Application for Health Coverage — along with your first month’s premium — no later than January 31, 2016.

Enrolling during the 2016 open enrollment period You may change or apply for 2016 coverage during the open enrollment period, which runs from November 1, 2015, through January 31, 2016. You can do so either through Covered California or through Kaiser Permanente. To start coverage on:

Your completed application and premium must be received by:

January 1, 2016 February 1, 2016 March 1, 2016

December 15, 2015 January 15, 2016 January 31, 2016

Enrolling during a special enrollment period Outside of open enrollment, you may enroll or change your coverage if you experience what’s known as a triggering event. Examples of triggering events include getting married, having a baby, and losing coverage because you lost your job. From the date of your triggering event, the special enrollment period generally lasts 60 days. That means you have 60 days to change or apply for coverage for you and/or your dependents. If you know you are going to have a triggering event, you may be able to apply for new coverage ahead of time. For more information, please refer to the Enrolling During a Special Enrollment Period guide. If you didn’t receive this guide, you can find it at buykp.org/apply, or you may call 1-800-494-5314 to request a copy.

Understanding health plans We offer a variety of plans to fit your needs and budget. All of them offer the same quality care, but the way they split the costs between the member and the health plan is different. Learn more below.

Copay and coinsurance plans

Deductible plans

HSA-qualified deductible plans

Platinum, Gold

Silver, Bronze

Silver, Bronze

Copay and coinsurance plans are the simplest. You know in advance how much you will pay for things like doctor visits and prescriptions. Your monthly rate is higher, but you’ll pay much less when you actually get care.

With a deductible plan, your monthly rate is lower, but you’ll have to reach a deductible. This means you’ll pay the full charges for covered services until you reach a set amount known as your deductible. Then you’ll start paying less — just a copay or coinsurance. Depending on your plan, some services, like office visits or prescriptions, may be available at a copay or coinsurance before you meet your deductible.

HSA-qualified deductible plans are just like deductible plans, with one added benefit. With this plan, you can set up a health savings account (HSA) to pay for health costs like copays, coinsurance, and deductible payments. And you won’t pay federal taxes on the money in this account. You can use your HSA anytime to pay for care, including some services that may not be covered by your plan, such as eyeglasses, adult dental care, or chiropractic services.* And if you have money left in your HSA at the end of the year, it will roll over for you to use the next year.

*For a complete list of services you can use your HSA to pay for, see Publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses, at irs.gov.

Choosing a plan based on your care needs If you need a lot of care, you may want a plan with a higher monthly rate so that you pay less when you come in for care. If you don’t go to the doctor much, you may want a plan with a lower monthly rate, keeping in mind you’ll pay more if and when you do get care. Monthly rate versus out-of-pocket costs

Health plan benefit highlights The charts on the next few pages show you a sample of each plan’s benefits. Review the diagram below to help you understand how to read those charts.

Here’s a quick look at how to use the chart

KP Kaiser Permanente — Silver 70 HMO 1500/40 Plan type

Annual deductible

Deductible

You need to pay this amount before your plan starts helping you pay for most covered services. Under this sample plan, you’d pay the full charges for covered services until you reach $1,500 for yourself or $3,000 for your family. Then you’d start paying copays or coinsurance.

Features Annual medical deductible (individual/family)

$1,500/$3,000

Annual out-of-pocket maximum (individual/family)

$6,500/$13,000

Benefits Preventive care

Routine physical exam, mammograms, etc.

Annual out-of-pocket maximum

No charge

This is the most you’ll pay for care during the calendar year before your plan starts paying 100% for most covered services. In this example, you’d never pay more than $6,500 for yourself and no more than $13,000 for your family for your copays, coinsurance, and deductible in a calendar year.

Outpatient services (per visit or procedure) Primary care office visit Specialty care office visit Most X-rays

$40 $40 $40 after deductible

Most lab tests

$35 after deductible

MRI, CT, PET

$250 after deductible

Outpatient surgery

30% after deductible

Mental health visit

$40

Preventive care at no charge Most preventive care services — including routine physical exams and mammograms — are covered at no charge. Plus, they’re not subject to the deductible.

Inpatient hospital care Room and board, surgery, anesthesia, X-rays, lab tests, medications, mental health care

30% after deductible

Covered before you reach the deductible

Maternity

Routine prenatal care visit, first postpartum visit Delivery and inpatient well-baby care

With some services, you’ll only pay a copay or coinsurance, regardless of whether you’ve reached your deductible. Under this plan, primary care visits are covered at a $40 copay — even before you meet your deductible. With our Silver deductible plans, primary care, specialty care, and urgent care visits all are covered before you reach the deductible.

No charge 30% after deductible

Emergency and urgent care Emergency Department visit Urgent care visit Ambulance services

$250 after deductible

$40 $250 after deductible

Coinsurance

Prescription drugs (up to a 30-day supply) Generic

After reaching your deductible, this is a percentage of the charges that you may pay for covered services. Here, you’d pay 30% of the cost per day for your inpatient hospital care after you reach your deductible. Your plan would pay the rest for the remainder of the calendar year.

Kaiser Permanente for Individuals and Families

Optional Adult Dental Insurance Plan Kaiser Permanente health plans include pediatric dental benefits for child members through the end of the month in which they turn 19. (For example, if a child member turns 19 on May 15, they would have dental coverage through May 31.) For adults, which includes those individuals whose eligibility for pediatric dental services has ended, we offer this optional Dental Insurance Plan.

How to enroll To enroll in the optional adult Dental Insurance Plan, simply check the right box on your application. ■■



About the plan Our dental plan features comparably low costs. Plus, you can choose from more than 25,000 Delta Dental providers in California, or select any other licensed dentist of your choice. When you see a Delta Dental provider

When you see another provider

You’ll pay the difference between what the dentist charges and what the plan pays. ■■

■■

You may be responsible for the entire bill up front.



For example, if the dentist charges $75* for a cleaning and the plan covers $43.20, you’ll pay $31.80.

Once enrolled, you can’t cancel your dental coverage without canceling your regular health coverage, unless you make the change during open enrollment.

You won’t have to file a claim.

Then you’ll need to file a claim and wait to receive reimbursement later.

You may pay less because the Delta Dental PPO network providers agree to contracted fees.

Your share of the bill will likely be higher than when you visit a Delta Dental PPO provider.

Kaiser Permanente for Individuals and Families

Optional Adult Dental Insurance Plan (continued)



How the plan works • No deductible for preventive services. The deductible is the amount you pay for covered services each year before Delta Dental starts paying. With this plan, there’s no deductible for preventive or diagnostic services like cleanings and X-rays. For other services, there’s a $25 annual deductible per person, up to a maximum of $75 for your whole family. • Coverage requirements. If you enroll, every adult member of your family (which includes those individuals whose eligibility for pediatric dental services has ended) who’s covered by your regular health plan must also be enrolled. In other words, you can’t choose to enroll some members of your family in the dental plan and not others. • Annual maximum. The plan will pay up to a $1,000 toward dental services for each covered member per year. • Waiting periods. Some covered dental services are subject to a waiting period before the plan will cover the charges.* See the Table of Allowances in your Certificate of Insurance for the specific dental services subject to waiting periods.
