The dedication of the staff at Memorial Hospital to patients is wonderful. Our affiliated physicians know that Memorial Hospital is the preferred facility for Kaiser Permanente members. However, members who experience an emergency should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Members will pay the ER copayment. And some physician's offices have after-hours care as well.
Members pay the after-hours care copayment.
In order to seek routine care or specialty care in any of the Denver area Kaiser Permanente medical offices, you must have a referral from your local primary care physician. If you do not get a referral, you will be billed for the full amount of the office visit charges. If you are visiting in Denver and need urgent or emergency care, you can visit the Denver medical offices without a referral. If you are in an area that has Kaiser Permanente facilities, please use those facilities whenever possible. You make the appointment yourself.
