Kaiser Permanente makes it easy to stay healthy while you’re away from home. Students can access routine, urgent, and virtual care across participating Kaiser states — and 24/7 care by phone or video nationwide.
If your school is in another Kaiser region, simply set up a visiting medical record number to get in-person care near campus. You’re also covered for urgent and emergency care anywhere in the world.

Before you go, take care of routine checkups, update prescriptions, and download the Kaiser Permanente app for easy access to care wherever school takes you.

For more information, please review the Away from Home College flyer. 

Whether your student is studying close to home or across the country, Western Health Advantage makes it easy to get the care they need.

For routine and preventive care, students should return to their primary care physician and medical group within WHA’s service area. If they need care while away, urgent or emergency care is available locally when needed.

WHA members can also access:

• Teladoc® virtual visits – 24/7 phone or video care for common issues like sore throats, ear infections, and colds. Simply download the app, enter your date of birth and medical ID number, and get started.

• Telehealth and 24/7 Nurse Advice Line – speak with a provider or nurse anytime for guidance and care options.

• Behavioral health support through Optum® – virtual or in-person counseling available 24/7, no referral required.

• Nationwide pharmacy access – fill prescriptions at CVS, Safeway, Walgreens, Walmart, Costco, and more, or have Teladoc send prescriptions directly to the nearest pharmacy.

Wherever college takes them, your student has access to care, support, and peace of mind with Western Health Advantage.
