What this plan is

This is a Medicare Advantage plan sold as an HMO in the Washington, DC area, which means care stays inside the Kaiser network and you choose a main Kaiser doctor. Kaiser runs its own clinics and hospitals, and this plan uses Kaiser doctors and Kaiser sites for most care.

Read this part with care: **this plan has no prescription drug coverage.** Medicare's file lists it as a medical-only plan. If you join it, you need a drug plan from another source, or you may pay a late fee for drug coverage down the road. Do not drop a drug plan for this one by mistake.

The same plan name can appear under other Kaiser contracts in other areas, and those versions are different plans with their own costs. The numbers on this page belong to this contract only. See the [Kaiser Permanente company page](/medicare-advantage/kaiser-permanente/) for its full list of plans, or [all companies compared](/medicare-advantage/) for the whole field.

Medicare rates this plan's contract 4.5 out of 5 stars overall for 2027, with 4.5 stars for health care.

What it costs

  • Monthly premium for the medical part: $0. You still pay your Part B premium each month, just as you would with any Medicare Advantage plan.
  • Yearly limit on in-network care: $5,900. Once your copays and coinsurance for Part A and Part B care reach this amount in a year, you pay nothing more for covered in-network care that year.
  • Drugs: not covered by this plan, so there is no drug deductible and no drug tier list here.

A $0 premium does not mean $0 care, because copays for visits and hospital stays still add up across the year. The yearly limit above is the cap on the medical side of that cost.

Where it is sold

This plan is sold in 24 counties and city areas in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, and the full list is in this page's data record. A plan with the same name under a different contract is a different plan with its own costs, even when the company name on the card looks the same.
