Kaiser Permanente service areas
You must live in a Kaiser Permanente service area to qualify for the Colorado Bridge Program.
We review each member’s eligibility for the Colorado Bridge Program by regularly sending you a form to confirm household income and other information. If you no longer meet the eligibility requirements, you will be disenrolled from Kaiser Permanente’s Colorado Bridge Program. You will remain enrolled in the KP CO Gold 0/25 RX Copay plan, but you’ll have to pay the full monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs unless you ask us to end your membership or until you fail to pay the full premium.
Other Kaiser Permanente coverage options
If you do not meet the requirements for the Colorado Bridge Program, financial help from the government could help you get affordable health coverage for you and your family. Other Kaiser Permanente health coverage options include:
