Inclusive & Equitable: Same-Day Delivery for All Kaiser Members, Including Medi-Cal

The Issue

 

Every patient leaving the hospital or managing critical conditions deserves timely access to essential medications. Currently, Medi-Cal members under Kaiser Permanente are not eligible for same-day pharmacy delivery, even when they can pay a small service fee. This policy leaves vulnerable patients at risk of complications, readmissions, and health deterioration, especially those with mobility challenges or serious illness. We respectfully urge Kaiser Permanente to: Allow same-day pharmacy delivery for all members, including Medi-Cal.
Provide the option to pay a nominal fee when delivery is not covered.
Implement a simple process at hospital discharge for urgent medications. This is not about blame — it’s about working together to protect the most vulnerable and support community health. Timely medication access saves lives and strengthens preventive care. Sign this petition to help Kaiser ensure no patient is left waiting for essential care.
