Get Started with the Community Health Coverage Program (CHCP)
Welcome to CHCP.
You are enrolled in the KP MD Gold 0 Ded/150 RxDed/Vision or KP VA Gold 0 Ded/500 RxDed/Vision health plan for your coverage. This covers preventive care, medication, vision services, limited dental coverage and more. To make things easier, many of our locations have lab, X-ray, and pharmacy services all in one place. And if you can’t come in during the day, some facilities offer evening and weekend hours. Learn more about the facilities in your area here.

Act for a Family Member
If you have your own kp.org member account, you can help certain family members with their health care by making appointments, looking over most of their test results, emailing their doctor, and more. For more information, go to Act for a Family Member.
If you do not have a kp.org member account and would like to act on behalf of someone who is a Kaiser Permanente member, you can set up a non-member caregiver account. Set up your account here.
If you need extra support, we’re here to help
Good health requires more than just health care. If you need access to resources such as food or housing, we can help. The Community Support Hub connects you to support in your community confidentially and at no cost regardless of immigration status. Call us at 1-800-443-6328 (TTY 711), Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or visit kp.org/socialhealth.
