Yep, this one’s easy. But the quick download may seem like forever if you’re hurt or not feeling well. Update it today and bask in some gratitude from ‘future you.’
With the Kaiser Permanente app, members can schedule routine appointments, email their doctor’s office, refill prescriptions, view their medical history, and more. (Kaiser Permanente Washington members must download the Kaiser Permanente Washington app.)
Plus, the Kaiser Permanente mobile app includes a digital membership card. Just like the physical card, it has helpful phone numbers for appointments, advice, and pharmacy.
Sometimes a nonurgent illness — like a urinary tract infection or the flu — can interrupt your holiday.
Kaiser Permanente members who don’t need an in-person exam can get care by video, phone, or online from a Kaiser Permanente clinician anywhere in the United States. Go to kp.org/travel or click “Get Care Now” in the Kaiser Permanente app.
No matter where your travels lead you, it’s important to know where to receive urgent or emergency care.
Kaiser Permanente members can go to any Kaiser Permanente facility or the nearest urgent care or hospital emergency room.
Outside of Kaiser Permanente states, members can go to the following locations and only pay their copay or coinsurance for care or prescriptions related to their urgent care visit — no need to file a claim later.
At all other locations, Kaiser Permanente members must pay the full cost of care up front and file a claim for reimbursement later.
More details and guidance for members are available at kp.org/travel.
Winter brings an uptick in respiratory infections. Learning more about respiratory infections can help you avoid getting sick and spreading illness to others.
Remember:
Order more if needed.
A few moments of mindfulness, a daily walk, or regular stretching can go a long way toward managing holiday stress and staying open to the joys of connection.
