As many families face growing uncertainty about healthcare and insurance gaps, the Center for Black Women’s Wellness (CBWW)—a trusted advocate for women, and family health—is proud to announce a partnership with Kaiser Permanente to expand access to free, comprehensive health coverage through Kaiser’s Bridge / Community Health Coverage Program (CHCP) in Georgia.

A Safety Net for Those Who May Be Overlooked

For individuals and families caught between not qualifying for Medicaid and being unable to afford employer-based or private coverage, CBWW offers a vital bridge to care. Through its Wellness Clinic, CBWW provides affordable medical, women’s health, and mental health services on a sliding-fee scale.

Now, through this collaboration with Kaiser Permanente, eligible patients are connected to the Bridge / CHCP program, which fully subsidizes monthly premiums and eliminates most out-of-pocket costs.

What the Kaiser Bridge / CHCP Program Offers

  • Full subsidy of monthly premiums for eligible participants through year-end (renewal at Kaiser’s discretion).
  • Comprehensive coverage under the KP Individual & Family (KPIF) plan, including preventive care, hospitalization, pharmacy, and more.
  • No co-pays or coinsurance for care received at Kaiser Permanente facilities.
  • Eligibility: Must live in Kaiser’s 20-county metro Atlanta service area, have income at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), and be ineligible for Medicaid, Medicare, or employer-based plans.
  • Enrollment: Must be referred by or actively engaged with participating community partners such as CBWW.

Why This Matters

Many Georgia families fall into a fragile gap—earning too much to qualify for Medicaid but too little to afford private insurance. The Bridge / CHCP program provides a lifeline to full health coverage, supported by CBWW’s trusted wraparound services and community relationships.

CBWW is uniquely positioned to connect individuals to this opportunity because it already offers on-site women’s health, primary care, and mental health services—and can seamlessly screen, enroll, and refer eligible clients to Kaiser’s program.
