Frequently asked questions

Common questions about this coverage in Oregon.

Can I see an out-of-network therapist with Kaiser?
Standard Kaiser HMO plans require you to see Kaiser-employed providers — out-of-network mental health is generally not covered except in emergency or crisis cases. Kaiser PPO plans (Kaiser Added Choice / Kaiser PPO) do offer out-of-network coverage, typically with higher copays.
Do Kaiser therapists do EMDR or just CBT?
Kaiser's in-house mental health teams primarily use brief CBT, behavioral activation, and ACT — typically delivered in 4–8 session blocks. EMDR, IFS, and longer-term work are sometimes available but limited. If you want a specific modality (EMDR, somatic, deep psychodynamic), many Kaiser members go out-of-network using their PPO plan or pay privately. This directory lists specialists in every modality if Kaiser's in-house options don't fit.
How do I get a referral for therapy with Kaiser?
You don't need a referral for Kaiser mental health — call the Kaiser mental health line directly (number on your card) or use kp.org. They'll do an intake assessment and route you to the right team (individual therapy, group, psychiatry). If you want a specific therapist or specialty, you can request it during intake but availability varies. Wait times for Kaiser intake are typically 1–3 weeks; first session is often 2–6 weeks out.
Are Kaiser PPO and HMO different for mental health?
Significantly. Kaiser HMO (the standard plan) restricts you to Kaiser-employed providers. Kaiser PPO (Added Choice) lets you see any therapist and reimburses out-of-network, similar to commercial insurance — usually 60–80% after deductible. If you have HMO and want a specific outside provider, you can sometimes get a single-case authorization, but it's rare. Check your card for "PPO" or "HMO" to know which path applies.
Can I use Kaiser for couples therapy?
Kaiser's in-house couples programs are limited and typically short-term (4–8 sessions). For longer or more specialized couples work (Gottman, EFT, PACT), most Kaiser members either: pay privately, use Kaiser PPO out-of-network benefits, or have one partner identified as the client with a covered diagnosis. Couples therapy as a standalone service is rarely covered by any insurance — Kaiser is no exception.
How does Kaiser telehealth therapy work?
Kaiser delivers most non-crisis mental health via telehealth (kp.org video) by default, especially since 2020. Quality of telehealth therapy is comparable to in-person for most issues. If you specifically prefer in-person, you can request it during Kaiser intake but may have longer waits.
How many Oregon therapists specialize in Kaiser Permanente insurance plans?
there are many therapists who specialize in providing services covered by Kaiser Permanente insurance. These providers offer a variety of care options to meet the needs of clients insured under Kaiser Permanente.
Do Oregon therapists specializing in Kaiser Permanente accept OHP?
Yes, several therapists specializing in Kaiser Permanente insurance also accept the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), providing an additional layer of accessibility for those with Medicaid coverage in Oregon.
Is telehealth available for Kaiser Permanente in Oregon?
Yes, many Oregon therapists specializing in Kaiser Permanente insurance offer telehealth services. This enables clients across the state to access therapy from the comfort of their own homes.
Do Oregon Kaiser Permanente therapists offer sliding scale fees?
Yes, several Oregon therapists specializing in Kaiser Permanente insurance offer sliding scale fees. This can make therapy more affordable for clients with varying financial situations.
