Kaiser Mfap PDF Details

In today's healthcare landscape, navigating financial obstacles is a common challenge for many individuals and families. The Kaiser Permanente Medical Financial Assistance (MFA) Program aims to alleviate some of that burden by offering temporary "awards" to help qualified applicants pay for necessary care received at Kaiser Permanente facilities or from its providers. This comprehensive program is designed to support not only members of Kaiser Permanente but also those without membership, ensuring broader access to critical healthcare services. Eligibility criteria for the program are twofold: applicants must either have a gross household income not exceeding 350% of the federal poverty level or face out-of-pocket healthcare costs that amount to more than 10% of their gross household income over a 12-month period, covering a range of services from emergency care to dental care and prescription medication. The Kaiser Mfap form simplifies the application process, offering multiple submission options—via mail, fax, or in person—and emphasizes the need for applicants to secure long-term health coverage as a complement to the temporary relief provided. Furthermore, the program navigates applicants through the eligibility requirements, illuminates how to apply, and outlines what to expect once an application is submitted, encapsulating a crucial resource for those in financial distress over healthcare costs.

Kaiser Permanente Medical Financial Assistance (MFA) Program

If you need help paying for health care services or prescriptions you’ve gotten, or are scheduled to get, from Kaiser Permanente, our MFA program may be able to help you.

How the program works

The program offers temporary “awards” to help qualified applicants pay for care based on their financial needs.

It’s available to all Kaiser Permanente patients, whether you’re a member or not.

If awarded, the program will cover emergency or medically necessary care from Kaiser Permanente providers or at Kaiser Permanente facilities for a specified time period.

How to qualify

You must meet one of the following eligibility requirements:*

1.Your gross household income is no more than 350% of the federal poverty level.

*Note: If your gross household income is more than 350% of the federal poverty level and/or you’re a Kaiser Permanente member with a deductible plan in California, you must meet the criterion below.

2.Your out-of-pocket health care costs for emergency or medically necessary care, dental care, and medication over a 12-month period are equal to or more than 10% of your gross household income.

Out-of-pocket costs include copays, coinsurance, and deductible payments.

Out-of-pocket costs do not include any payments for your health plan itself, like your monthly premium.

For more information about qualifying for the MFA program, or to see which health care services it pays for, visit www.kp.org/mfa/ncal.

If you don’t have health insurance, you may be required to apply for it.

Because the MFA program only provides temporary financial awards, we may require you to apply for coverage that will cover you in the long term. This could include any other public or private health programs you’re eligible for — like Medi-Cal or subsidized plans available on the health insurance marketplaces.

We may ask you to show proof that you’ve applied to these programs, or that you’ve been approved or denied by them. But you may still be able to get financial help from the MFA program while waiting for a decision from these other programs.

For more information about other health coverage you may be eligible for, visit healthcare.gov or call 1-800-318-2596.
