The KPStep program provides Kaiser Permanente benefits at greatly reduced rates for up to 24 months to eligible individuals who otherwise could not afford health care. Monthly premiums are based on family size and income. The coverage includes a FREE health risk appraisal, preventive services, hospitalization, and pharmacy benefits.
