The best of both worlds

With KP Plus, not only do employees benefit from our true value-based care, but they also have the flexibility to keep their favorite out-of-network doctors. They can have a set number of physician visits or outpatient medical services annually without the need for referrals or prior authorization, as well as a set number of prescription fills or refills at the pharmacy of their choice.
