Get health coverage at low or no cost to you
If you’re a Colorado resident without access to other health coverage, you may get high-quality health care through Kaiser Permanente’s Colorado Bridge Program.
What is the Colorado Bridge Program?
The Colorado Bridge Program (Colorado Bridge) is for Colorado residents who can’t get any other health coverage. Colorado Bridge 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.
