Kaiser HMO Plan

California only! Higher paycheck costs in exchange for lower out-of-pocket costs.

Available only in California, the Kaiser HMO is a managed care medical plan that provides medical and prescription drug benefits only when you receive care within the HMO network and when the care is coordinated by your primary care physician.
