Get health coverage at low or no cost to you
If you’re a California resident without access to other health coverage, you may get high-quality health care through CHCP.
What is CHCP?
CHCP is for California residents who can’t get any other health coverage. CHCP members receive a subsidy to help pay monthly premiums, and do not have to pay copays or out-of-pocket costs for most care at Kaiser Permanente facilities.

Applying for CHCP
Current CHCP members whose subsidy will expire on December 31, 2025 and who are eligible to reapply for the program, must reapply between August 1, 2025 – October 1, 2025 to continue receiving a KP CHCP subsidy in 2026. You MUST provide Kaiser Permanente the signed form, proof of household income, and other applicable documents by October 1, 2025 to determine if you still qualify for financial help in 2026.

*Continued eligibility for CHCP is not guaranteed. We reserve the right to close enrollment or change the CHCP eligibility rules at any time. If you are approved for CHCP, the subsidy period is limited and we will contact you in the future to confirm that you still qualify.
