Find a doctor

We know how important it is to find a doctor who’s right for you. If you have Kaiser Permanente coverage through Medicaid or the children’s health insurance program (FAMIS), you can choose your personal doctor based on what matters to you, such as what languages they speak. Your doctor will work with you to create a personalized care plan. 

You’ll get care from doctors across a range of specialties who work together to give you high-quality care. 

To learn more about our doctors, visit kp.org/doctor.

Depending on your needs, you may also get care from non-Kaiser Permanente providers and hospitals in our network. Either way, you can rely on getting great care from a team of doctors committed to keeping you healthy.

To see all the providers and hospitals in our network, check out the Virginia Medicaid and FAMIS provider directory.
