In the event of a federal government shutdown, individuals enrolled in Apple Health (Medicaid), Public Employees Benefits Board, and School Employees Benefits Board coverage—and those accessing behavioral health services—will not experience a disruption in care. In addition, health care providers will continue to be paid for the services they provide.
If a shutdown occurs, we will share more information at that time.
Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Northwest offers plans in Clark and Cowlitz counties in Washington and select counties in Oregon.
In general, retirees may choose from the plans listed below. Your options are limited to the plans available in your county and whether you are enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B. Remember, if you cover eligible dependents, everyone must enroll in the same medical plan (with some exceptions, based on eligibility for Medicare Part A and Part B). Learn more about the plans.
To enroll in a Kaiser Permanente NW medical plan, you submit the Retiree Election Form (form A).
Visit one of Kaiser Permanente NW's online provider directories.
The following documents — called an Evidence of Coverage — provide in-depth descriptions of the health care benefits for each plan. For a summary of benefits and costs, see Is there a quick way to see benefits and costs?
The following documents — called a Summary of Benefits and Coverage — provide summaries of what each plan covers and what it costs. For in-depth descriptions of benefits and coverage, see What are the benefits of each plan?
In most cases, you must live in a medical plan’s service area to join the plan. Use the tables below to make sure you live in the plan's service area. If you move out of your plan's service area and your plan is no longer available, you must change plans. If you do not, the PEBB Program will enroll you in one. You must report your new address and any request to change plans to the PEBB Program no later than 60 days after your move.
