This tool should be used only as a guide to determine estimated fees for health care services
in your region. This tool shows estimated member charges for some commonly used medical
services-such as office visits, lab tests, X-rays, and prescription medicines-when provided
at Kaiser Permanente medical centers, medical offices, pharmacies, and other facilities. When
you receive care or services from a provider at a non-Kaiser Permanente facility, even if the
provider is under contract to provide services for Kaiser Permanente members, the charges may
be different.
These fees/charges are not plan specific. The amount of charges you pay out of your own pocket
will depend on your plan coverage and on things such as whether or not your provider is a Kaiser
Permanente practitioner. And your benefit plan may cover services at different levels of
copayment or coinsurance.
The fees are updated on an annual basis. These estimated member charges are published as of 1/1/12, and are subject to change without notice. Prescription drug charges are published on a quarterly basis and are subject to change without notice.
Kaiser Permanente does not guarantee the accuracy of any particular fee amount, as these fees do
not include the costs of unanticipated or unplanned treatment. As part of your visit, additional
procedures, tests, follow-up visits, etc. may be required to properly treat a condition. This may
increase financial liability and should be considered when trying to estimate your fees.
The information displayed in this tool is not an indication of a covered expense. Check your plan
documents to determine what benefits are covered under your plan. In order to determine the fees
charged by a specific health care provider, you should contact the health care provider directly.
For an explanation of the fees you may be required to pay, or to ask any other questions, please
call the member services or customer service phone number on your Kaiser Permanente ID card.
The information that you enter into this tool cannot be linked directly to you. Any data that
you input into the tool or the calculated results are not stored on our system.
