CalOptima Health coverage pathway
We accept Medi-Cal, LA Care, CalOptima Health, IEHP, Blue Shield, Anthem Blue Cross and most private and employer-sponsored health plans. We verify your benefits before a date is set. This page does not decide coverage.
Bring your preferred procedures and any existing referral or letter documentation. Call 424-253-0000 with your member ID. Do not put the member ID on the public form. Our team coordinates across specialties so you are not sent to four separate practices for core care.
