Navigating today's economy can force tough decisions, like reducing employee benefits. But providing the right information can help employees maintain coverage—and their health.

Members can choose from the broad range of individual and family plans we offer, or qualifying members may choose COBRA or other government-subsidized programs to fit their needs. Here are a few resources to help transitioning members understand their coverage options.

Help your employees transition to new coverage

If your employees are experiencing a change in Kaiser Permanente group coverage, including due to workforce reduction, use this checklist to help guide your communications. The checklist includes links to materials with resources and tools for transitioning to new coverage:

• kp.org/exploreoptions for personalized coverage recommendations
• 1-800-270-4095 (TTY 711) for a one-on-one consultation or to ask about financial assistance
• Webinars for answers to coverage questions. Check the schedule at kp.org/coveragewebinar for dates and times. Each webinar includes a short, recorded presentation followed by a live chat with an advisor.
  

You can also read about changes to COBRA that may make it more affordable for some of your employees. If you have questions about these changes or continuing coverage for transitioning employees, please contact your broker or account manager.
