Kaiser Permanente 2011 Sample Fee List Members in any deductible plan can use the sample fee list to estimate charges. Colorado AREA As your partner in health, we want to help you better manage your care. Staying on top of your finances, like how much you spend on health care, helps give you peace of mind so you can concentrate on the things in life you enjoy. This Sample Fee List shows estimated member charges for some commonly used medical services such as office visits, lab tests, and X-rays when provided at Kaiser Permanente medical offices. The charges for services may be different when you receive care or services from a provider at a non Kaiser Permanente medical office, even if the provider is under contract to provide services for Kaiser Permanente members. Note that these estimated member charges are based on typical encounters. Your actual charge may vary based on the length, severity, diagnosis type, and your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum status at the time of your visit. As a Kaiser Permanente member, the amount of charges you pay out of your own pocket will depend on your plan coverage and on factors such as whether or not your provider is a Kaiser Permanente practitioner. Additionally, your benefit plan may cover services at different levels of copayment or coinsurance.
