Candace Maher struggled with high medical bills after several unexpected surgeries. Kaiser Permanente’s Medical Financial Assistance program helped pay for her medical care.

Improving health care access for people with limited incomes and resources is fundamental to Kaiser Permanente’s mission. Our Medical Financial Assistance program is open to patients with low incomes, whether they have health insurance or not.

The program provides temporary financial assistance to help qualified patients pay for health care based on their financial need. This includes emergency, urgent, or medically necessary care, as well as pharmacy services and products received from Kaiser Permanente providers or facilities.

Patients who qualify get some or all of their costs covered regardless of whether they have health care coverage, or are uninsured, or are underinsured.
