Medical group
Optum Care Network–Los Angeles
Optum’s countywide Los Angeles medical group. A doctor in the San Gabriel Valley network is not automatically in this one.
- On a Medicare Advantage plan
- On many countywide Los Angeles HMO plans, this Optum group handles the referral, the approval before a visit, and much of the paperwork. It is a different list from the San Gabriel Valley Optum group.
- Ask the office
- Is this doctor in Optum Care Network–Los Angeles this year?
- Which Medicare plans does this office take at this address?
- Which hospital does this office use for a planned stay?
Confirm this on Medicare.gov, with the plan, and with the doctor’s office.
