We revamped our webpage. Take a look at the top and I think it’s very clear. Both Blue Shield and UCLA have announced it.
Use the Blue Shield provider finder to verify doctors on the list.
UCLA shows numerous Insurances that they accept. Why are you only mentioning Blue Shield?
For Medicare Advantage, yes they do list Scan. We don’t represent Scan. However, we’ve been advised that SCAN will be out for 2020.
As to the other Insurance Companies mentioned, they are for Employer Groups, Military, Under 65, etc. Click here for more detail and explanation.
What are the co-pays in the UCLA and Cedars-Sinai medicare Advantage programs?
For UCLA, Cedars & Blue Shield click here.
Cedars-Sinai Click here for Blue Shield, here for Caremore – subsidiary of Blue Cross or Caremore Diabetes, Kidney Disease ESRD, for United Health Care – email us [email protected] we need your zip code and county and then can send you the paperwork.
In 2020 Cedars will be on the Anthem Select HMO and Coordination Plus plans.
no copays for anything at all?
Hard to decipher. So UCLA has all 0 copays?
Please don’t go by summaries. When we give you a link… it’s mandatory that you click on it and review the details. Here’s the actual summary of benefits for Blue Shield’s Medicare Advantage Plan 65 Plus for Los Angeles. Please go to our Blue Shield page cited above for other plans and counties. Blue Shield is the Insurance Company, NOT UCLA.
Hi. Nice site!
I am on SCAN currently and it’s not meeting my needs.
I want a low cost supplemental plan that covers me for the UCLA medical group.
Oct 15th is when my plan expires.
Thanks for the compliment on our website.
When you say supplement, I presume you mean Medi Gap, where you can go to any doctor or facility that accepts Medicare, right? All Medi Gap plans would pay for UCLA.
If I understand you correctly, your plan with SCAN expires 12.31.2019. October 15th is when you can pick a new Medicare Advantage plan.
Here’s our page for Blue Cross Medi Gap and Blue Shield Medi Gap, rates & benefits are there.

I have Medicare Part A and B does UCLA except Medicare ?
If so how do I find a Doctor .
I can pay for what Medicare doesn’t cover
Here’s UCLA’s provider list finder https://www.uclahealth.org/providers
UCLA confirms on their website https://www.uclahealth.org/health-plans that they accept Medicare Assignment
You can also use Medicare’s Provider Finder https://www.medicare.gov/physiciancompare/
If you’d like to have a Medi Gap plan to pay what Medicare doesn’t check our Blue Cross and Blue Shield pages.
I am confused about the comments above! Does UCLA accept Original Medicare Parts A and B? Thank you.
Yes, of course. The issue above is if AARP is accepted by UCLA. You can double check Medicare Providers here. This page explains what happens if you find a provider that doesn’t take original medicare.
I am 70 years, one eye completely blind,
I was with AARP, till last December 2016,, but Beginning January 1, 2017 , they have dis enrolled me.
I make $855. From SSI Supplemental Security Income – Benefits and my husband who is enrolled with Kaiser gets $1045. Per month
This January I went to see my doctor and was surprised to be billed $495. Which is the 20 % That I need to pay….
Is there any place I can enroll for membership.
I’ll appreciate any advice
Marielou
You have Medi-Cal don’t you as it’s automatic with SSI, right? So, that would allow Medi-Cal to pay the 20% wouldn’t it?
That might give you issues with Medi-Medi where Medi-Cal enrolls you in a Medicare Advantage plan themselves, but there are ways to get out of it.
If you do have Medi-Cal, that allows you to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan throughout the year, not just during Open Enrollment.
So, the questions are:
What Medicare Advantage plan did you want to enroll in?
…It appears SCAN is the only plan UCLA takes from looking at their website. I don’t represent SCAN but can refer you to a friendly agent who does.
Did you submit the bill to Medi-Cal?
Is UCLA a Medi-Cal provider?
We found out that you can also apply for UCLA doctors through the ACO program – also know as Medicare Shared Savings Plan (MSSP). Here’s a UCLA link for information:
https://www.uclahealth.org/aco
Thank you very much for posting. Here’s more on the Shared Savings Program from CMS.Gov Section 3022 of ACA I wonder how many people that want to repeal Obamacare even know this is part of it? Here’s information on Blue Shield’s ACO for under 65. Use the menu above and check out Medi-Gap – Supplement plans.
I am hoping with Trump in the white house that ucla will be back with us.
Is blue cross Medi Blus Plus the only plan that is going to have UCLA medical group
UCLA’s Website says they also take SCAN. I don’t have a direct agent appointment with Scan, email us and we can refer you
Hello,
thank you for all the useful PDF s you have posted on the internet.
Can you help me with a situation that involves UCLA medical Group not renewing their contract with AARP?
Do you know if and where there is real managed care?
Patients like myself have a very difficult time receiving it if one has multiple chronic serious medical conditions. As you become more frail it becomes impossible to advocate for yourself.
I have been at UCLA for a long time. They are no longer in the health care business, they are in the insurance business.
They are loosing the good doctors.
Please advise.
It would be very appreciated.
Thank you,
Patty
