Review: ARCHAIC OB/GYN DEPT
My personal experience with a provider at Baseline, Boulder, OB/GYN: a (non-doctor) woman named Comstock conveys the Kaiser paradigm of providing only "standard of care", which means the most conservative, least informed, type of medicine. There is absolutely no cooperation in working with female menopausal problems other than to put their patients on Premarin (pregnant mare urine-derived estrogen). These folks receive a D-.
I've been a member since 1971 and have never been ill; now that I'm aging, it's apparent I'll have to go out of plan for any type of progressive medicine.

Review: Easy to work with
My husband has had a Kaiser plan through work for many years. Each time we have filed a claim with them it is handled quickly and we never have to do anything. My husband had in-patient surgery and it cost us less than $700, about 1/10 of the bill. We don't use the plan very much, but every time we do we are pleasantly surprised at the quick processing of claims. When we need anything from our doctor, a quick phone call typically does the trick.

Keep in mind, this has been our experience with Kaiser. We have enjoyed doing business with them, and will continue to do so. The only downside to Kaiser is you must use the doctors and hospitals in their network. But overall, it has been a very good experience.

Review: the worst insurance ever
Kaiser is the worst insurance ever, they are very limited and you cant even talk to a doctor/ physician outside of their facility. they are uncooperative and full of bureaucracy

Review: Late premium-able 2 pay soon-no mercy at KP
I lost over half of my customers in the last year (2009). November and December were very hard months with customers deciding to not utilize my services (when they normally do). This means accounts receivable for January and Febuary are thin. Now I am only six days late on my Kaiser premium. (Managed to pay all my January bills-miraculously.) I called Kaiser to let them know that I will be receiving money, but because I am a freelance writer, I do not know when my compensation will arrive. I expect it to be soon, however I am unable to pay the bill right now. The man in accounting did not care. I was told by accounting that they have 'no grace period, no payment plans' and that 'as soon as someone sees the account is past due they will cancel it.' I am not even 30 days late! I am not even 15 days late. I am only six days late. I was transfered around, put on hold, disconnected, and put into the automated system. They made me feel horrible. Now I am determining whether I not pay my electric/gas bill instead. Do I go without heat and electricity or do I pay my health insurance premium? Hmmm. This is a very temporary situation for me, yet Kaiser does not care. I could pay as soon as one of my customers pays me, but Kaiser is unwilling to work with me. 'Thrive, unless you are struggling because of the recession, then in that case, get lost,' should be their new slogan. Their appathy really brought me down. They are just another corporation without a heart.

Review: Kaiser is the Best!
We've had Kaiser for 3 years and I have to tell you these guys really have their act together. Everything is so fast, blood work at 10am, results back via email by 5pm. need to ask your doc a question? Email them and they respond in one day...Free of charge. Too many good things to say about Kaiser, only one bad thing... we moved to South Dakota and they are not in this state. We're going to keep it though and just drive to Denver for appointments or wait until we visit family in So. Cal to see our wonderful doc.
