Online Affiliate Registration and Sign-On

There are two simple steps to gain access to the Online Affiliate portal. This includes:

The first step in gaining access to Kaiser Permanente’s Online-Affiliate tool for your Practice, Group, or Facility is the Completion of our Provider Entity Agreement. The Entity Agreement needs to be signed by an Owner, CEO, CFO, VP, or other Executive.

Be advised that we only require one Provider Entity Agreement per Tax ID for each region you wish to access. This agreement outlines the conditions and responsibilities that the authorized signer must assume for any individual user who associates themselves with the Practice, Group, or Facility.

Unsure whether we have an agreement on file for your provider group?

You may verify by submitting an Online Affiliate Support Case with your group name and Tax ID. Someone will respond to confirm if we have an agreement on file.

Please read, sign, and return the Provider Entity Agreement using our webform¹:

Submit Provider Entity Agreement

*** DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL STEP 1 IS COMPLETE ***

¹Receipt of signed Providers Entity Agreement does not guarantee requests for Online Affiliate access will be granted.

Once you have received a confirmation that your Provider Entity Agreement has been processed or that we have one file, the next step is to register as a user to access Online Affiliate.

To proceed with the user registration, navigate to the New User Registration Portal.
