Better for your employees.

Prioritizing a healthy workforce
Kaiser Permanente is different. As Colorado’s largest nonprofit health plan and one of the state’s largest multi-specialty physician groups, we provide health care and coverage together. For more than 50 years, we’ve served Colorado’s businesses, and we are always working to respond to the changes in today’s increasingly complex health care landscape.
Kaiser Permanente has care and coverage
for you, your family, and your employees.
New offerings to reach more Coloradans
Introducing the Kaiser Permanente Choice PPO. We’re expanding our nationally recognized value-based health care to reach more Coloradans. Kaiser Permanente’s new Choice PPO is offered alongside one of our traditional plans and is available to Colorado employers with more than 100 employees. It features a blend of Kaiser Permanente’s integrated health care and coverage with an extended network of leading Colorado doctors and hospitals, including access to providers across the state.
This expansion is part of our commitment to meet the health care needs of a growing Colorado — and to better our goal of growing our nonprofit, value-based care model. There are many benefits for Coloradans who will be able to receive medical care from Kaiser Permanente’s best-in-class physicians and clinicians while also enjoying the flexibility and convenience of additional options.
The Choice PPO is available now, with effective coverage dates of January 1, 2024.

Built for how people live today
Kaiser Permanente is different from other health plans. We offer more ways to access care with convenient, in-person and 24/7 virtual options, self-care apps, prescription delivery by mail6 and extended care hours. In most of our 30 medical offices, members can see a doctor, fill a prescription, and get a lab test or X-ray — all under one roof.
Our expert care teams are connected through a shared electronic health record that empowers them to collaborate seamlessly across departments and specialties.7 This model of integrated health care — pioneered by Kaiser Permanente — fuels innovation, creates new standards of care, and supports cutting-edge research. When everyone’s connected, care is better and more cost-effective. Kaiser Permanente addresses the health of your employees early, consistently, and effectively.
Quality care from Colorado’s top doctors
With Kaiser Permanente as your health care partner, your employees are able to choose a world-class doctor who understands their unique care needs. We’re one of the largest multispecialty groups in Colorado. Each year, many of our doctors are honored as Top Doctors by 5280 magazine9 and earn some of the highest clinical quality ratings from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).
Members are able to get care from a Kaiser Permanente doctor or select one from our affiliated network of more than 14,000+ providers along the Front Range.8 And at any time, for any reason, members can change their primary care provider or specialist.
