Section 3: Health Plan Member Eligibility
and Benefits Determination
Section 3: Member Eligibility and Benefits
Determination
3.1 Member Eligibility Verification
You are responsible to verify a Member’s eligibility each time the Member presents at
your office for services. Do not assume that coverage is in effect because a person
produces a Kaiser Permanente Member ID card. The process for verifying eligibility is
as follows:
1. Request Kaiser Permanente Member ID card and check identity against a
photo ID.
2. Contact Kaiser Permanente by telephone, interactive voice response (IVR)
system or by web, as described in the chart below
3. If you cannot verify eligibility because Kaiser Permanente’s eligibility
verification systems are closed, you should verify eligibility on the next
business day.
If Kaiser Permanente is unable to verify eligibility or if services are requested after
hours, you must ask the person to complete a financial responsibility form, and explain
that the person will be responsible to pay for the services if it is later determined that he
or she did not have coverage on the date of service. See Section 3.2 of the Manual
regarding retroactive eligibility changes.
To confirm a Member’s current PCP or to verify eligibility, choose one of the options
below.
Example:

Description
#1
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System: The IVR can be accessed for member eligibility,
copayment information, and the name of the PCP assigned to the member through the
Member/Provider Services Department for Denver/Boulder (303) 338-3800 and Southern
Colorado (888) 681-7878, Mon-Sun from 8am to 5pm. Please have the member’s ID number
and date of birth available when you call. Interactive Voice Response -- Non KP Letter
#2
Member/Provider Service Line: If you are unable to use the IVR system to confirm member
eligibility or PCP assignment, you may speak with a customer service representative by
calling the Member/Provider Services Department Line for Denver/Boulder (303) 338-3800
and Southern Colorado (888) 681-7878, M-F from 8am to 5pm. Please provide the member’s

www.providers.kp.org/cod: Eligibility verification is available to providers via AffiliateLink the
Kaiser Permanente website at www.providers.kp.org/cod, a secured site, for which a user ID
number and password are required. To obtain access, call (303) 338-3216.
3.2 Retroactive Eligibility Changes
Kaiser Permanente may determine retroactively that a person was not eligible for
coverage on the date of service. This occurs, for example, when eligibility data is
received late from employer groups, or is adjusted by employer groups. The applicable
Payor is not responsible to pay for services in that case, but if you obtained a financial
responsibility form from the person, you may bill the person directly for the services. If
you have already received payment for the services, the applicable Payor will notify you
of the adjustment.
Member eligibility may change retroactively in the following conditions:
Kaiser Permanente receives delayed information, e.g., from Member’s employer,
that an individual is no longer a Member
The individual policy/benefit contract has been terminated
The Member decides not to purchase continuation coverage
The eligibility information received by Kaiser Permanente is later determined to
be false.
If you have received payment on a claim(s) that is impacted by a retroactive eligibility
change, a claim adjustment will be made. The reason for the claim adjustment will be
reflected on the remittance advice.
3.3 Benefit Coverage Verification
You are responsible for verifying that a Member has coverage under his or her
Membership Agreement for the services you will be providing, and for obtaining any
required prior authorization. See Section 4 of the Manual for information regarding
authorization requirements. To determine a member’s benefit coverage, choose on the
options below.
1. Contact the Member/Provider Services Department for Denver/Boulder 303-3383800 and Southern Colorado 888-681-7878 to verify member benefit coverage.
2. Access member benefit coverage via AffiliateLink website at
www.providers.kp.org/cod a secured site, for which a user ID number and
password are required. To obtain access, call 303-338-3216

3.4 Exclusions and Limitations
The benefits described in each Membership Agreement are subject to various
limitations and exclusions. It is important to inquire about coverage before rendering a
service so the Member can be informed of potential payment responsibility.

Colorado 888-681-7878.
3.5 Products and ID Cards
Kaiser Permanente of Colorado offers different products to individuals and employer
groups. The Member’s identification card will indicate which product he/she is enrolled
in. Kaiser Permanente members should present their ID cards prior to services.
Additionally, it is recommended you obtain a copy of the card (front and back) each time
services are rendered. This will assist you in referencing required insurance information.
You are contracted to treat Kaiser Permanente Members who are enrolled in the
following plans:

Permanente Medical Group and receive almost all of their care within the Kaiser
Permanente traditional Group Model System. A referral from a CPMG physician is
required to obtain services outside of the traditional system. Within this product, Kaiser
Permanente offers a wide selection of benefit choices. To verify eligibility and benefit
information only, contact The Member Services for Denver/Boulder (303)-338-3800 and
Southern Colorado (888) 681-7878 or e-mail: colorado.cs@kp.org.
Deductible / Coinsurance HMO Product (DHMO)
Deductible/Coinsurance HMO has been part of the Kaiser Permanente portfolio since
January 1, 2004. DHMO is available for large group, small group and individual lines of
business. DHMO products are based on our core HMO plan but with a deductible that
results in a lower monthly premium. Members have access to any Kaiser Permanente
physician. Preventive services (defined in DPHSA section) are covered at no extra
charge. Copayments apply to doctor’s visits and prescriptions. The member must meet
a deductible for certain procedures, hospitalization and outpatient surgery before
coinsurance begins. Copayments and the deductible do not count toward meeting the
out-of-pocket maximum.
Deductible – The amount a member must pay in a calendar (or contract) year for certain
services before coinsurance begins. Members must pay full charges when they receive
specified services until they meet their deductibles. Kaiser Permanente’s DHMO plans
have deductibles that range from $250-$2,000 per individual per year and $750-$6,000
per family per year. The following services are subject to these deductibles:
Procedures received during an office visit or scheduled procedure visit.
o Outpatient surgery services.
o Inpatient hospital services.
o Inpatient medical detoxification, including chemical dependency residential
rehabilitation.
o Dialysis services.
o Emergency services.
o Non-emergency, non-routine procedures received after hours.
o Home health services.
o Hospice services.
o Inpatient psychiatric hospitalization services.
o Inpatient treatment in a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program.
o Skilled nursing facility services.
o Diagnostic and therapeutic X-ray services.
o Special procedures such as CT, PET, MRI and nuclear medicine.
Coinsurance – A percentage of the charges members must pay when they receive a
covered service and have already met the terms of their deductible. Coinsurance will be
10, 20 or 30 %, depending on the plan option. For example, if the plan calls for the
12/14/2012
7
member to pay 20 % of the total charge of an eligible service, Kaiser Permanente would
pay 80 % – or the remaining charge. The coinsurance applies to contracted, not billed,
charges. Out-of-pocket maximum – Limits the total amount of coinsurance a member
must pay over the course of a single year. For example, a deductible/coinsurance plan
might have an out-of-pocket maximum of $2,000. Once a member has paid their
deductible and that amount in coinsurance within a single year, Kaiser Permanente
would pay 100 % of the cost of eligible services after that.
Copayment – These policies also include copayments for office visits. Primary care
office visit copayments range from $15 to $35. Specialist office visit copayments range
from $35 to $55. Copayments do not apply to the medical deductible. Copayments do
not apply to the Out-of-Pocket maximum.
Contract Financial Terms
Affiliated providers of Kaiser Permanente are responsible for collecting the member’s
liability for copayments, deductible and coinsurance arising from visits or services
rendered by you that resulted in these liabilities.
Kaiser Permanente members will be responsible for copayments at the medical office
visit. For deductible and coinsurance, we ask that you submit claims to Kaiser
Permanente. We will determine the member’s financial responsibility by calculating their
deductible, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximum. We ask that you bill the member
directly for financial liabilities resulting from deductible and coinsurance.
The member’s liability will be based on the provider’s contracted amount with Kaiser
Permanente. A provider may call Kaiser Permanente’s Member Services at (303) 3383800, option 3 regarding any questions on the member's current accumulation towards
their deductible or out-of-pocket maximum limits.
Deductible Product with HSA Options (DPHSA)
Kaiser Permanente introduced Deductible Plans with HSA Options on January 1, 2005.
For Denver/Boulder, the product is offered to large group, small group and individual
lines of business. In Southern Colorado, the product is offered to both small group and
large group lines of business. Members are responsible for all medical costs, excluding
preventive which is covered at no cost, until reaching their deductible. Deductibles and
coinsurance apply to the out-of-pocket maximum.
Deductible – The amount a member must pay in a calendar year for services. For this
plan, the first dollar applies to the deductible. Members must pay full charges when they
receive services until they meet their deductibles, and then some members pay
coinsurance amounts until the out-of-pocket maximum is met. Current plans have
individual deductibles ranging from $1,500 to $3,000 per year and family deductibles
12/14/2012
8
ranging from $3,000 to $6,000 per year. All services are subject to the deductibles
EXCEPT Preventive services (defined below).
Beginning January 1, 2006, per federal regulations, DPHSA members must pay full
charges for pharmacy until they meet their deductible. Depending on the benefit plan,
some members will pay pharmacy copays until their out-of-pocket maximum is met.
10 or 20 %, depending on the plan option. For example, if the plan calls for the member
to pay 20 % of the total charge of the eligible service, Kaiser Permanente would pay 80
% or the remaining charge. Coinsurance applies to contracted, not billed, charges.
Out-of-pocket maximum – Limits the total amount of deductible and coinsurance dollars
a member must pay over the course of a single year. For example, a plan might have
an individual out-of-pocket maximum of $5,000. Once a member has paid their
deductible and that amount of coinsurance within a single year, Kaiser Permanente
would pay 100% of the cost of eligible services after those criteria have been met.
Preventive services – The following benefits have been defined as preventive, and will
not apply to the deductible:
o Adult Preventive Care Exam
o Adult Preventive Care Screenings (tests & interpretation)
o Prostrate specific antigen screening (PSA)
o Fecal occult blood screening (Hemocult)
o Flexible sigmoidoscopy screening
o Colonoscopy screening when ordered by an MD
o Cholesterol screening (lipid profile)
o Fasting blood glucose test for diabetes screening
o Well-Woman Care
o Screening pap and interpretation
o Screening mammogram and interpretation
o Clinical breast exam
o Chlamydia screening test and interpretation
o Immunizations (excluding travel immunizations)
o Well-Child Care (exams and immunizations in accordance with Medical Group
guidelines)
Contract Financial Terms – Affiliated providers of Kaiser Permanente are responsible
for collecting the member’s liability for deductible and coinsurance payments arising
from visits or services rendered by you that resulted in these liabilities. To check on a
member’s deductible balance, you may contact. Member Services at 303-338-3800,
Option 3. This will enable affiliated providers to collect as accurately as possible at the
point of care.

HSA Option – Kaiser Permanente members who are enrolled in these plans have the
option to hold a health savings account (HSA) with an accredited financial institution.
This is an investment or savings account owned by the member who can be used for
healthcare expenses as defined by the I.R.S. Kaiser Permanente has named Wells
Fargo as a preferred partner, although members can have an HSA with any accredited
financial institution. Those members who have their HSA with Wells Fargo will be given
the choice to have a Visa debit card to access their funds for healthcare services. This
card works like any other Visa debit card. Below is how the debit card looks like:
HMO Plus - Launched in July 2007, HMO Plus provides members the full benefits of
Kaiser Permanente’s HMO plus the option to receive care from any licensed physician,
up to a set dollar amount each year. The set annual amount of the Plus benefit is based
on Kaiser Permanente's contribution amount. Once the member reaches his Plus
benefit limit, only the HMO portion of the coverage will remain. HMO Plus is available to
both large and small groups.
Deductible Coinsurance HMO Plus
Deductible Coinsurance HMO Plus provides members all the benefits and resources of
Kaiser Permanente’s DHMO plan, plus the convenience to receive care from any
licensed community physician at any time, up to a set dollar amount each year. The set
annual amount of the Plus benefit is based on Kaiser Permanente’s contribution
amount. Once the member reaches his Plus benefit limit, only the Deductible
Coinsurance HMO portion of the coverage will remain. Deductible Coinsurance HMO
Plus is available to both large and small groups.
Please refer to Physician Information Document for HMO Plus and Deductible
Coinsurance HMO Plus and forms for additional information.

Medicare Senior Advantage Plus Choice Plan (HMOPOS)

HMOPOS plan with Kaiser Permanente HMO benefits and a limited out-of-network point
of service (POS) benefit for out-patient services. Under the limited POS benefit Plus
Choice members can self-refer to an out-patient Medicare-approved provider whether or
not the provider is contracted with Kaiser Permanente. Orders written for a Plus Choice
member may be performed at Kaiser Permanente medical offices; there are laboratory
and radiology order forms for you to complete and fax if the member prefers to return to
Kaiser Permanente for these services. Prescription drug orders must be filled at a
Kaiser Permanente Denver/Boulder pharmacy for the member to receive the
prescription under their Part D plan benefit. The limited annual amount of the POS
benefit is based on Kaiser Permanente's contribution amount. Once the member
reaches his POS benefit limit, only the HMO portion of the coverage will remain. Senior
Advantage Plus Choice is only available to individuals.

3.5.2 Point-of-Service (“POS”) Products
Point of Service Products (MultiChoiceSM POS, Added Choice® Point of Service,
Added Choice® Triple Option POS, and Added Choice® Deductible Coinsurance)
Kaiser Permanente Insurance Company a subsidiary of Kaiser Permanente,
underwrites all Out-of-Plan portions of the POS, Out-of-Area, and PPO plans. Members
seeking services from providers outside of the Kaiser Permanente system can self-refer
to providers of their choice at the time of medical need, or at the "point of service". They
will have a Kaiser Permanente POS membership ID card.
"In-Plan" If the POS member stays in-plan (using the HMO tier of his plan), obtain
referral information and bill Kaiser Permanente in your usual manner.
12/14/2012
13
"Out-of-Plan" If the Added Choice member receives treatment without an HMO referral
authorization, they have elected to go out-of-plan. Payment is made under the PPO or
indemnity contract and all contracted discounts apply. Bill Kaiser Permanente indicating
the POS member’s ID number. Kaiser Permanente will send remittance advice to both
you and the member itemizing the member's balance due.
MultiChoice POS
Effective January 1, 2008, Kaiser Permanente introduced MultiChoice, our new 3-tier
Point-of-Service product. MultiChoice members have three tiers of benefits – a
deductible coinsurance HMO coverage for those who seek care with Kaiser
Permanente or affiliated healthcare providers and medical offices, Preferred Provider
coverage within the Private Healthcare Systems (PHCS) network, and Out-of-Network.
Copays for office visits, deductibles, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximums now
match between the plan’s HMO and PPO coverage tiers, to reduce or eliminate benefit
disparity between these networks.
Added Choice Triple Option
Kaiser Permanente added a PPO network option to the Added Choice product in 2001.
These members have three tiers of benefits – HMO, Preferred Provider Network and
Out of Network. Members with three-tier POS plans like the Added Choice Triple Option
plans may choose to see non-Kaiser Permanente providers who are part of the Private
Healthcare Systems PPO Network (PHCS), or any other licensed outside provider.
Check the members’ ID card for applicable co-pays and coinsurance. If the out-of-plan
provider is also a contracted Kaiser Permanente provider, and the member has no
Kaiser Permanente referral, the claim will be handled as either a PPO or indemnity
claim. The claim system will monitor appropriate PPO discounts.
Note: Added Choice Triple Option and Added Choice Deductible Coinsurance products
are no longer being offered to new groups with Kaiser Permanente.
Contract Financial Terms - All current financial agreements apply to Kaiser Permanente
members enrolled in the POS plans. However, if you have a capitation agreement these
members are not included in your per member/per month calculation.
They will be reimbursed at the discounted fee for service terms in your contract. You
may not collect from Kaiser Permanente or the member a combination of payments
greater than your contractual rate for covered services rendered to POS members. For
"out-of-plan" cases, the member's deductible/coinsurance payment obligations are
calculated based on your contractual rate.
Deductibles - The amount a member must pay in a calendar or contract year for
services. Members with POS plans must meet individual/family deductibles before
coinsurance applies. For members of the Added Choice Triple Option, there are no
deductibles in the traditional HMO tier for these members. Payments to satisfy
Deductibles do not apply to the Out-of-Pocket Maximums.
12/14/2012
14
Note: Deductibles for all Added Choice products are separate in each tier, and they do
not accumulate across tiers. In MultiChoice, members’ payments to satisfy their PPO
tier deductible also apply to their HMO tier deductibles. However, payments towards the
HMO tier or Out-of-Network tiers apply only toward those respective tiers.
10% to 50%, depending on the plan option. For example, if the plan calls for the
member to pay 20% of the total charge of the eligible service, Kaiser Permanente would
pay 80% of the remaining charge, up to the UCR. Coinsurance applies to contracted,
not billed, charges. Coinsurance %ages vary by tier, with highest cost sharing in the
Out-of-Network tier. For Point of Service products (including Triple Option), only
coinsurance payments apply to the applicable Out-of-Pocket Maximum accumulations.
Copayment – These policies also include copayments for office visits and prescriptions
in the HMO and PPO tiers. Copayments do not apply to the medical deductibles.
Copayments do not apply to the Deductibles or the Out-of-pocket maximums in any tier
of POS plans.
Out-of-Pocket Maximum – Limits the total amount of coinsurance a member must pay
over the course of a single year. For example, a deductible/coinsurance plan might
have an out-of-pocket maximum of $2,000. Once a member has paid their deductible
and that amount in coinsurance within a single year, Kaiser Permanente would pay 100
% of the cost of eligible services after that (except for applicable copayments, which are
always required). The Out-of-Pocket Maximums in the Point-of-Service plans are
separate in each tier, and do not cross-accumulate. Only coinsurance applies to the
Out-of-Pocket Maximum accumulators.
Some Point-of-Service benefits are covered only under Tier 1 (Kaiser Permanente). For
all POS plans, these include:
Inpatient mental health care
Inpatient / outpatient alcohol and substance abuse
Inpatient physical, occupational, and speech therapy
Durable Medical Equipment (except prosthetic arms and legs)
Organ transplants
Oxygen
Skilled nursing facility
Emergency room care
Ambulance
Hearing exam
Pre-certification Requirements for PPO and Out-of-Network services
Pre-certification is the evaluation of treatments and services to assure that members’
care is appropriate and medically necessary for health care needs.
12/14/2012
15
The patient (or his/her doctor) must call SHPS (pronounced like “ships”) for precertification at least 3 days prior to any scheduled hospital admission, unless admitted
in an emergency. Pre-certification for emergency admissions must be obtained within 3
days following the admission.
To obtain pre-certification, call 1-800-448-9776 (SHPS). Both the member and provider
will receive written authorization confirming medical necessity.
Prescriptions – Members with Point-of-Service plans have two options to fill
prescriptions:
They
may purchase prescriptions at any Kaiser Permanente pharmacy, provided the
medications are on the KP formulary and medical guidelines are satisfied. Prescriptions
may be written by providers outside Kaiser Permanente. Members usually pay a
copayment. Mail order is also available through Kaiser Permanente’s mail order service.
Members may purchase any covered prescriptions through MedImpact, a network of
nearly 60,000 pharmacies nationwide. The MedImpact network includes most major
retail pharmacy chains in Colorado, including King Soopers, Albertsons, Safeway,
Long’s Drug, Wal*Mart, and Walgreens. Members pay a copayment.
Members of MultiChoice POS plans may not purchase prescriptions through
pharmacies other than Kaiser Permanente or MedImpact. Members of Added Choice
plans may purchase prescriptions from pharmacies outside the MedImpact network.
Members pay 50% coinsurance. Two-tier Added Choice pharmacy benefits may also
require members to satisfy a deductible before the pharmacy coinsurance applies.
The formulary is open for prescriptions purchased through MedImpact or Out-ofNetwork pharmacies. However, a Preferred Drug List determines members’ pharmacy
copayments on MultiChoice Plans. Members’ copayments are either Preferred Generic,
Preferred Brand, or Non-preferred Generic/Brand.
For members of MultiChoice POS plans, certain self-administered injectible drugs are
also covered when members purchase them through MedImpact pharmacies. Members
pay 20% coinsurance for these prescriptions (up to $250 per fill).
Neither Pharmacy coinsurance payments nor copayments apply to Medical deductibles
or Out-of-Pocket Maximum accumulators.

Traditional PPO
Our traditional PPO product allows the member to take advantage of Kaiser
Permanente’s preferred provider network, Private Healthcare Systems (PHCS), with
nearly 450,000 physicians and more than 4,000 facilities nationwide. Or if the member
prefers, he can go to any other licensed practitioner or hospital he chooses. If the
member gets care from within the preferred provider network, he will reduce costs
through copayments for office visits (including diagnostic x-rays and lab work performed
in the doctor’s office), as well as lower deductibles and reduced coinsurance rates for
other services. If the provider is outside the network, the member will pay higher
deductibles & coinsurance, may be required to make his own financial arrangements,
and may need to submit receipts or claims for reimbursement. Also, members are
responsible for paying the difference between the amount billed & the amount that KP
can reimburse. Prescriptions are covered and can be filled at any MedImpact network
pharmacy, which includes pharmacies at Albertsons, King Soopers/City Market, Kmart,
Longs Drugs, Medicine Shoppes, Safeway, Sam’s Club, Target, Walgreens, and
Walmart. The traditional PPO is available to large group members only.
Out-of-Area PPO
This plan is similar to our traditional PPO plan but is available to small group members
only. This plan is available to members outside of Kaiser Permanente’s service area
who are not eligible for the HMO plan.
PPO Plan with Health Savings Account (HSA) Option
With this plan, the member can take advantage of Kaiser Permanente’s Preferred
Provider Network, Private Healthcare Systems (PHCS), or if the member prefers, he
can go to any other licensed practitioner or hospital he chooses. In addition, the
member can set up a Health Savings Account (HSA) which he can use to pay for
qualified medical expenses, tax free. Kaiser Permanente has named Wells Fargo as a
preferred partner, although members can have an HSA with any accredited financial
institution. The PPO Plan with Health Savings Account (HSA) is available to large group
members only.

3.5.4 Medicare Product
Traditional HMO Medicare Product(s)
Medicare Advantage - Kaiser Permanente has contracted with the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services (CMS) to offer Medicare Advantage (MA) plans to Medicare
beneficiaries. These plans are known as Senior Advantage. Kaiser Permanente offers
five individual MA plans; Senior Advantage Core, Silver, Gold, Plus Choice, and our
Special Needs Plan. The Special Needs Plan is for individuals with both Medicare and
Medicaid. These plans provide comprehensive, high-quality healthcare, including
Medicare Part D prescription-drug benefits. Based on the contract between Kaiser
Permanente and CMS, Senior Advantage covers all Medicare benefits and more.
Senior Advantage is available to Medicare beneficiaries who are eligible for Medicare
Part A and are enrolled in Medicare Part B.
In addition to our four individual plans, Kaiser Permanente offers Senior Advantage to
the employer group market.
Kaiser Permanente currently has over 60,000 Medicare Advantage members. The
same referral guidelines that apply to our Kaiser Permanente commercial/non-Medicare
members should also apply to our Medicare Advantage members.
Contract Financial Terms - Your contractual agreement describes the financial terms for
all Kaiser Permanente members. The terms may define separate negotiated rates for

MEDICARE, bill Kaiser Permanente. Providers are often reimbursed through the same
mechanisms Medicare would use. For example, RBRVS, DMERC and DRG’s. Your
contract defines how you will be reimbursed for providing services.

3.7
Drug Benefits and Formulary
Kaiser Permanente members who have a prescription drug may have their prescription
filled at a Plan pharmacy at the applicable prescription drug copayment or coinsurance.
In order to receive medications under the Prescription Drug Benefit, the prescription:
1. Must be prescribed by a Plan Physician, a physician to whom a member has
been referred by a Plan Physician or a dentist (when prescribed for acute
conditions).
12/14/2012
33
2. Must be purchased at Plan Pharmacies.
Medications and accessories covered by the Prescription Drug benefit are:
1. Drugs for which a prescription is required by law. Plan pharmacies may
substitute a generic equivalent for a brand-name drug unless prohibited by the
Plan Physician. If a member requests a brand-name drug when a generic
equivalent is the preferred product, the member may pay a cost differential
dependent upon the members prescription drug benefit. If the brand-name drug
is prescribed due to medical necessity, when the generic equivalent is on the
formulary, the member pays only the brand-name copayment.
2. Insulin
3. Compounded medications are covered as long as they are on the compounding
formulary for Denver Boulder members and plan Physicians may request
compound medications through the medical exceptions process for Southern
Colorado members.
4. Home glucose monitoring supplies, disposable syringes for the administration of
insulin, glucose test strips, acetone test tablets and nitrite screening test strips for
pediatric patient home use.
Drug, Supplies and Supplements Exclusions:
1. Drugs for which a prescription is not required by law.
2. Disposable supplies for home use such as bandages, gauze, tape, antiseptics,
dressing and ace-type bandages.
3. Drugs or injections for the treatment of sexual dysfunction, unless the member’s
group has purchased additional coverage.
4. Any package other than the dispensing pharmacy’s standard packaging.
5. Replacement of prescript drugs for any reason, including but not limited to
spilled, lost, damaged or stolen prescriptions.
6. Drugs for the treatment of infertility, unless the member’s group has purchased
additional coverage.
7. Drug used to shorten the duration of the common cold.
8. Drugs used to enhance athletic performance.
9. Drugs used in the treatment of weight control.
10. Drugs which are available over the counter and by prescription for the same
strength.
11. Drugs and supplies for cosmetic purposes.
12. Vitamins and nutritional supplements that can be purchased without a
prescription.
13. Non-prescription drugs, unless they are included in the drug formulary.
14. Drugs related to non-covered services.
15. Drugs for the promotion, prevention, or other treatment of hair loss or growth.
Generic/Brand Prescription Benefit:
12/14/2012
34
To ensure cost effective therapy, generic equivalents are utilized when available and
appropriate. Only approved generic equivalents approved by the FDA are used.
Pharmacies may substitute a preferred generic drug for a prescribed name brand
drug unless prohibited by the physician. If a member requests a brand name drug
when a generic drug is the preferred agent, the member may pay a cost differential
dependent upon the members prescription drug benefit. If the brand-name drug is
prescribed due to medical necessity, when the generic equivalent is on the
formulary, the member pays only the brand-name copayment.
Dispensing Limitations: Kaiser Permanente may, in its sole discretion,
establish quantity limits for specific prescription drugs. For example, when there
is a shortage of a drug in the marketplace and the amount of available supplies is
limited, we may reduce the quantity of drug dispensed
Certain drugs that have a significant potential for waste will be provided for up to
a 30-day supply only (e.g.: Avonex, Procrit).
Therapeutic Interchange: Kaiser Permanente utilizes Therapeutic Interchange
programs to promote rational, safe, and effective drug therapy. Prescribing provider
approval is required before an exchange occurs.

Permanente Region. Visiting Member benefits may not be the same as those they
receive in their home service area and are subject to certain exclusions.
