KP is doing everything they can to keep our members, staff and communities as safe as possible. If your doctor determines you do need a test, you won't have to pay for costs related to COVID-19 screening or testing. There are no changes to benefits. All member costs, such as the co-pays/co-insurance are found on the KP UC Microsite. https://my.kp.org/universityofcalifornia/

KP has closed the facilities listed below. By temporarily consolidating these 6 smaller facilities, KP believes they can help to support a potential surge in the number of people who are in need of hospitalization, meet the critical need to conserve Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), guard against potential staffing shortages, and limit exposure to the virus for both members and employees.
