Kaiser pharmacy network change in 2020

by <a href="mailto:benefitinfo@awcnet.org">Trust staff</a> | Jan 08, 2020
Kaiser network changes have been made in an effort to bring more members into Kaiser Permanente&rsquo;s integrated care system.

Kaiser network changes have been made in an effort to bring more members into Kaiser Permanente’s integrated care system. In addition to adding facilities in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood and West Olympia, they have had some providers move out of the network including 11 retail pharmacies (see table below). Kaiser has pharmacies at nearly all of their medical facilities, many with expanded hours. In all cases, pharmacies removed from the network are within a 5 mile radius to a Kaiser facility where members can fill their medications. Kaiser has an efficient mail-order service that provides a fast, easy, and convenient way for members to receive medications. If you have questions about these network changes, contact Trust staff.
