If you’re canceling your Kaiser Permanente insurance online, you won’t need to complete a Disenrollment Request form. However, you will need to provide some personal information, such as your name, address, and date of birth.

Step 3: Notifying Your Doctor and Other Healthcare Providers

Once you’ve canceled your Kaiser Permanente insurance, you need to notify your doctor and other healthcare providers that you’re no longer covered by Kaiser Permanente insurance. This will help ensure that you receive any necessary medical care before your termination date.

You can notify your doctor and other healthcare providers by calling their offices or sending them a letter.

Step 4: Returning Your Kaiser Permanente Membership Card

Once your termination date has passed, you need to return your Kaiser Permanente membership card. You can mail your membership card to the address listed on the back of the card.

Tips for Canceling Kaiser Insurance

• Cancel your insurance during your open enrollment period: Your open enrollment period is the time of year when you can make changes to your health insurance coverage. This is the best time to cancel your Kaiser Permanente insurance, as you’ll be able to avoid any early termination fees.
• Give yourself plenty of notice: It’s important to give yourself plenty of notice when you cancel your Kaiser Permanente insurance. This will help you ensure that you have time to find new health insurance coverage and notify your doctor and other healthcare providers.
• Ask about early termination fees: Some Kaiser Permanente plans may charge an early termination fee if you cancel your coverage before the end of your contract. Be sure to ask about early termination fees before you cancel your insurance.
• Get everything in writing: Once you’ve decided to cancel your Kaiser Permanente insurance, be sure to get everything in writing. This includes your termination date and any other important information.
