We are in the Seattle area, but here there are two different offerings from Kaiser, HMO and PPO. The HMO requires the patient to go to a Kaiser hospital, much like we had in California in the 1980s and yes, found it to be less than ideal. My wife, however has Kaiser PPO. She can use various great medical facilities here that accept it, including Swedish and Overlake. I would check thoroughly into it, if the employer has Kaiser PPO option and Providence Spokane is in the network, I would go that way.

I wish we had access to Kaiser. There is a huge problem up here with doctor availability. I called last week 4 to 5 major medical groups and none were accepting new patients right now. I was told there are several mergers taking place among medical groups and they are trying to streamline their pool of patients. Ughh. Hopefully in spring things will be better.
