After-hours centers are open evenings, weekends, and holidays. Kaiser Permanente after-hours care is a more convenient and less expensive alternative to hospital emergency rooms for medical concerns that aren't critical or life threatening. The copayment for after-hours care at Kaiser Permanente medical centers costs roughly half that of a hospital emergency room visit, depending on your plan's specific benefits. No appointment is needed for after-hours care. However, individuals with more urgent problems will be given priority.
Care is given on a walk-in basis.
