If you're already a Kaiser Permanente Plan member, you don't need to take any action to stay enrolled. Check out the Healthy Resources tab to learn more about the great programs you have access to as a Kaiser Permanente member.

Once you become a member, here are easy steps to get you started:

Step 1: Choose Your Doctor — and Change Anytime

Getting you connected with a doctor who suits your individual needs is the first priority. Choose from a wide range of great doctors. And remember — you can change for any reason, at any time. Browse our online doctor profiles at kp.org/mydoctor/connect and choose a doctor there.

Step 2: Create Your Online Account

Once your coverage starts, you can create your account through the Kaiser Permanente app or at kp.org/newmember. Then you can conveniently manage your health through our mobile app or kp.org. Set up an appointment, request a refill, email your doctor’s office with nonurgent questions, see lab results and more—whenever, wherever.

Step 3: Get Your Prescriptions

Finally, we’ll help you transition your current prescriptions to Kaiser Permanente. Just go to kp.org/newmember and follow the steps. Or give us a call at 1-877-RXKAISER (1-877-795-2473) (TTY 711), weekdays, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; or Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Be sure to have your prescription information handy.
