Kaiser Permanente WA Classic/Value & Sound Choice

These plans require you to seek services by a Kaiser Permanente WA Health provider. If you happen to go to a non-Kaiser Permanente WA Health provider, you will not receive coverage.

You must verify your provider contracts with Kaiser Permanente WA to receive maximum coverage. This is important, as you could be responsible for costs if you receive care from a provider who is not in the Kaiser Permanente WA Health network.
