  • A:  As a Kaiser Permanente member, you’re covered for emergency and urgent care anywhere in the world.  Whether you’re traveling in the United States or internationally.  It is important to remember that how you get care can vary depending on where you are.  So plan ahead and find out what emergency and other medical services are available where you will be traveling.  Routine services aren’t covered, so make sure to get them before your trip if you’re traveling elsewhere.  Routine services include prevention, exams, checkups, and services for ongoing medical conditions.  For more information please check out the Traveler Guide or Traveler Information on Kaiser website.

  • A: You may be able to refill many prescriptions early or get more than usual. To ask for an early or extra refill:

    • Visit any Kaiser Permanente pharmacy near you and make your request.
    • If you need doctor approval, the pharmacy will contact your doctor.
    • Be sure to ask for your medication at least 1 or 2 weeks before your trip so there’s time to process your request.
    • If you travel by plane, keep your prescription medications with you in your carry-on baggage.
