What Is the Case About?
Kaiser Permanente agreed to reimburse California members for out-of-pocket mental health and substance use disorder treatment costs after the U.S. Department of Labor (EBSA) and the California Department of Managed Health Care found members couldn’t access timely in-network care. Kaiser resolved these matters without an admission of liability.
Who Qualifies?
California Kaiser Permanente members who received out-of-network mental health or substance use disorder care after January 1, 2021, tried to obtain timely in-network care but couldn’t, and paid out of pocket for the out-of-network services.
How Much Can You Get?
The settlement provides at least $28.3 million. There is no fixed per-person payment — eligible members may be reimbursed for some or all of their out-of-pocket costs based on their documentation and Kaiser’s review.
How to File
Submit invoices and proof of payment through the online portal at OutOfNetworkHealthClaims.com using your Notice ID Code and Confirmation Code within 180 days of the date on your notice.
