Primary Care Physicians Now Accepting New Medicare Plans

More Medicare plans are being accepted at Loma Linda University Health. Primary care physicians are now accepting United Medicare plans and will be accepting SCAN as of Jan. 1, 2016 in addition to several other previously accepted plans. The primary care departments at Loma Linda University Health are devoted to caring for the community for a lifetime. “We are excited to join with our patients on their life’s journey of health and wellness,” said Todd Martel, MD, MBA, FACP, vice president of clinical effectiveness/managed care faculty practice, Loma Linda University Health. Loma Linda University Health will be offering free informational meetings and consultations throughout the community in the coming weeks (see attached flyer) leading up to the Medicare open enrollment period, which begins Oct. 15. Attendees can expect to learn about: • Medicare Parts A, B, C, D • Benefits of multiple Medicare Advantage plans that will be accepted by Loma Linda University Health in 2016 • All Medicare options (Supplements, Advantage, etc.) Over the past year, the collective group of members of the family medicine, general internal medicine, internal medicine/pediatrics, and preventive medicine departments has banded together to strengthen primary care at Loma Linda University Health. As a result, the primary care group is working together to enhance access to patients’ personal physicians and make our office, phones, website and other services easy to use as the organization moves forward with a new focus to enhance patient satisfaction and accessibility.
