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
  1. Is this doctor in Optum Care Network–Los Angeles this year?
  2. Which Medicare plans does this office take at this address?
  3. Which hospital does this office use for a planned stay?

Confirm this on Medicare.gov, with the plan, and with the doctor’s office.
