About our plans
Our plans offer individual and family benefits delivered in an environment that puts preventive care and overall wellness first. That’s why our plans cover routine appointments, preventive care, wellness programs, and more to help prevent our members from getting sick in the first place.
Our plans also have virtual care options that include 24/7 online chat, 24/7 advice line, video and phone visits, e-visits, and email for nonurgent questions.1
Virtual Plus plans: A type of deductible plan. On Virtual Plus plans, members start most care with a virtual visit. Virtual visits are covered at no charge.
At the virtual visit, a Kaiser Permanente doctor or other clinician will provide the care and prescriptions members need or, if clinically needed, refer members to in-person care.
Virtual options include 24/7 online chat, 24/7 advice line, video and phone visits, e-visits, and email for nonurgent questions Learn more
Catastrophic plan (not a metal plan): Offers 3 primary care visits covered in full before the deductible, in addition to preventive care visits. All other services are subject to the annual deductible. This plan is only for applicants 29 and younger or applicants 30 and older who provide a certificate from Health and Human Services demonstrating hardship or lack of affordable coverage.
Deductible plans (Bronze, Flex Bronze, Flex Silver, Flex Silver HD, and Flex Gold): A member’s monthly premium is lower, but they will need to pay the full charges for most covered services until they reach a set amount, known as the deductible. Then they’ll start playing less — a copay or coinsurance. Depending on the plan, some services, such as office visits or prescriptions, may be available at a copay or coinsurance before they reach the deductible.
HSA-compatible plans: Members can open their own health savings account (HSA) to use for eligible medical expenses.
Cascade deductible plans: Cascade plans are offered by every carrier on the health benefit exchange and have the same standard cost-sharing and benefit design at each metal level, meaning they have the same deductible, copays, and coinsurance for medical services. More information can be found on WAHealthplanfinder.org.
Plan availability
Many of our individual and family plans are available in the following counties: Benton, Columbia, Franklin, Island, King, Kitsap, Lewis, Mason, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, Spokane, Thurston, Walla Walla, Whatcom, Whitman, and Yakima. Refer to the 2023 Individual and Family Service Area Map for details on where plans are offered.

Optional dental coverage
We work with Delta Dental of Washington to offer your clients dental coverage when paired with one of our 2023 off-exchange individual plans. Both of the following options fulfill the federal mandate to provide pediatric dental coverage to anyone under age 19.
Option 1: The Adult/Family Basic plan includes dental coverage for members over and under age 19. This plan is available for adults and families who purchase their medical plan off exchange, directly from Kaiser Permanente. These dental options cannot be purchased separately.
Clients who enroll through the Washington Healthplanfinder can purchase pediatric dental or adult/family dental along with their medical plan through Healthplanfinder.
Option 2: The Pediatric dental plan includes dental coverage for only those under age 19.
- This plan is only available if your clients purchase their medical plan off exchange, directly from Kaiser Permanente.
- If your clients purchase their medical plan through Washington Healthplanfinder and are under age 19 or have dependents under age 19, they must purchase pediatric dental coverage through Washington Healthplanfinder, too.
2023 Dental Plans Summary of Benefits (PDF)
Under the Affordable Care Act and Washington state law, pediatric dental coverage is required. If the application or account change form includes children 18 and younger and the applicant doesn’t enroll in either the Pediatric plan or Adult/Family Basic plan, we will reach out at the time of enrollment and yearly to policyholders. They will be asked to submit an Attestation of Pediatric Dental Coverage with proof of other pediatric dental coverage.
Clients won’t meet the minimum necessary health and dental coverage required by state and federal regulations if the signed attestation form and proof of dental coverage are not returned. Kaiser Permanente will send yearly notifications of the requirement.
For members enrolling directly with Kaiser Permanente
Dental coverage can be elected when initially enrolling in a medical plan. If your existing clients want to make a change in their dental coverage or cancel dental coverage during open enrollment, they need to complete, print, sign, and send the Account Change Form (PDF).
If your clients plan to enroll, or have already enrolled, in a dental plan through an employer or directly with another dental carrier, they need to complete, sign, and submit an Attestation of Pediatric Dental Coverage (PDF) within 60 days of their medical coverage effective date. They also need to submit proof of dental coverage showing the effective date of coverage. Proof of dental coverage can include notification from the employer or dental carrier showing each individual covered and the effective date of coverage. This is a requirement to attest and provide proof of coverage at the time of initial enrollment and then yearly thereafter.

About our plans
Our plans offer individual and family benefits delivered in an environment that puts preventive care and overall wellness first. That’s why our plans cover routine appointments, preventive screenings, wellness programs, and more to help prevent our members from getting sick in the first place. And when our members need additional care, they have access to care for over 60 specialties. Our plans also include virtual care through video, phone, online chat, and more so our members can get care 24/7, at home or on the go in Washington.1
Virtual Plus plans: Offer low premiums and start most care with a virtual visit. A Kaiser Permanente doctor or clinician provides care, prescriptions, and referrals for in-person care when needed. First in-person primary care visit and annual in-person preventive visits are covered at no charge. Self-referred in-person care is usually a higher out-of-pocket cost. Fill the first prescription for a new medication at a pharmacy in our network or use our convenient mail-order pharmacy. Then get most refills through mail order. Learn more
Catastrophic plan (not a metal plan): Offers 3 primary care visits covered in full before deductible, in addition to preventive care visits. All other services are subject to the annual deductible. This plan is only for applicants younger than 29, or applicants age 30 and older who provide a certificate from Health and Human Services demonstrating hardship or lack of affordable coverage.
Flex plans: Offer a great value with access to the CoreSelect network of specially selected providers. Flex plans include a specific number of office visits ("upfront visits") for just a copay as well as upfront coverage for some medications; the deductible doesn't apply to either.
HSA-compatible plans: Members can open their own health savings account (HSA) to use for eligible medical expenses.

Optional Dental Coverage
We work with Delta Dental of Washington to offer your clients dental coverage when paired with one of our 2022 direct individual plans. Both of the following options fulfill the federal mandate to provide pediatric dental coverage to anyone under age 19. In Washington state, everyone 18 and younger is required to be enrolled in a qualified dental plan. If mutual clients do not enroll in one of our plans, then we are required at initial enrollment and yearly to collect a signed Pediatric Dental Attestation and proof of dental coverage within 60 days of enrollment effective date. If this requirement is not met, medical coverage may be terminated.
Option 1. An adult/family plan that includes dental coverage for members over and under age 19. This plan is available for adults and families who purchase their medical plan direct from Kaiser Permanente. These dental options cannot be purchased separately.
For clients who enroll through the Washington Healthplanfinder, they are able to purchase pediatric dental or adult/family dental along with their medical plan through Healthplanfinder.
Option 2. A pediatric-only plan that includes dental coverage for only those under age 19.
- This plan is only available if your clients purchase their medical plan direct from Kaiser Permanente.
- If your clients purchase their medical plan through Washington Healthplanfinder and are under age 19 or have dependents under age 19, they must purchase pediatric dental coverage through Washington Healthplanfinder, too.
