The Kaiser Permanente Bridge Program:
A Health Care Helping Hand
What is the Bridge Program?
The Kaiser Permanente Bridge Program is designed to help those who are uninsured, income eligible, and actively enrolled with a participating community partner by providing help to pay for a Kaiser Permanente for Individual and Families (KPIF) plan. As a Community Health initiative, we will subsidize the full monthly premium from the time of enrollment until December 31 of the enrollment year*. Coverage under the KPIF health plan includes preventive services, hospitalization, comprehensive pharmacy and more.
*Subscribers may reapply annually at the discretion of Kaiser Permanente if they continue to meet the program eligibility requirements.
