To be eligible for KPIF coverage, you and any dependent you’re applying for can’t be entitled to Medicare Part A or enrolled in Medicare Part B.

• I verify that I am not entitled to Medicare Part A or enrolled in Medicare Part B.

• I understand that Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., will rely on the information provided in this application. If any information is found to be fraudulent or intentionally misrepresented, then Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., may choose to terminate coverage back to the coverage effective date.

Sign the arbitration agreement

I understand that (except for Small Claims Court cases, claims subject to a Medicare appeals procedure or the ERISA claims procedure regulation, and any other claims that cannot be subject to binding arbitration under governing law) any dispute between myself, my heirs, relatives, or other associated parties on the one hand and Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. (KFHP), any contracted health care providers, administrators, or other associated parties on the other hand, for alleged violation of any duty arising out of or related to membership in KFHP, including any claim for medical or hospital malpractice (a claim that medical services were unnecessary or unauthorized or were improperly, negligently, or incompetently rendered), for premises liability, or relating to the coverage for, or delivery of, services or items, irrespective of legal theory, must be decided by binding arbitration under California law and not by lawsuit or resort to court process, except as applicable law provides for judicial review of arbitration proceedings. I agree to give up our right to a jury trial and accept the use of binding arbitration. I understand that the full arbitration provision is contained in the Membership Agreement, Evidence of Coverage, and Disclosure Form.

A copy of your agreement with your signature is as valid as the original. If signatures are missing, we will cancel the application. If there are more than 2 dependents 18 and older signing, please attach a copy of this page with the additional signatures.
