Tips for Fast Approval

  • ▶Kaiser does not use Symplr or GHX — register directly through the Kaiser vendor portal.
  • ▶Approval at one Kaiser facility does not grant access to others — each approves independently.
  • ▶Kaiser requires higher liability insurance minimums ($2M per occurrence) than most systems.
  • ▶Allow extra time — Kaiser’s internal process typically takes longer than Symplr-based systems.
