How to go about #Picking a HMO or PPO Primary Care Physician PCP – MD

PPO members for all Covered CA plans and maybe all? plans will now have a central point of contact PCP – Primary Care Physician, in the health system for receiving long-term, comprehensive, coordinated care for most health needs. PPO members are able to switch PCPs at any time. There is no action for members to take. Blue Shield will provide additional details on this new feature in the coming weeks.

Members of non-grandfathered PPO plans will continue to have the freedom to choose specialists and other providers – without referrals inside or outside the network – as they do now.

3 comments on “Cedar’s Sinai – Thipa – Optum – UCLA – stanford Insurance Plans Accepted

  1. I just was informed that my Health Net insurance coverage issued by Los Angeles Unified School District will not enable me to continue with the Cedars Sinai Medical Associates that I’ve been covered under.

    Do you know if there is a way to continue this coverage using Anthem Blue Cross HMO or EPO with some type of supplemental insurance coverage that isn’t prohibitive cost wise?

    • Here’s information we have for CalSTRS and LAUSD Retirement Plans.

      Blue Cross HMO & EPO are other options one can pick from on LAUSD Open Enrollment.

      One would need to double check that Cedars Sinai is covered by those plans. You’ll find Blue Cross’s Provider Finder on my webpage here.

      The first, initial response from LAUSD is that you can only change if you have a Major Life Event, due to IRS rules.

      Major Life Events/Actions
      • Begins/ends full-time employment
      • Begins retirement
      • Marriage, divorce or death of a spouse
      • Birth or adoption
      • Death of a covered child
      • Spouse gains/or loses employer health plan eligibility
      • Spouse loses employment
      • Gains/loses eligibility for Medicare
      • Employee/retiree or dependent moves in or out of plan’s service area

      We might look into if you could qualify under SB 133 AB 369 Continuity of Care? Are you being treated for a chronic, acute or terminal illness? You may answer privately – email us at [email protected] or just reply below and don’t put in your name.

      This might also qualify as a special enrollment into an individual plan? Group Plans might have something similar, I’d have to research.

      Here’s the contact page for LAUSD benefits administration.
