HMO Plan Overview

For your medical health needs, you may elect HMO coverage through Scripps Health Plan. At the time of enrollment, you will be required to choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP) for yourself and each of your family members. Your PCP will have at least one plan medical group, and some may have multiple affiliations to choose from.

The Scripps Health Plan HMO network is made of six medical groups consisting of thousands of providers located throughout San Diego County:

  • Mercy Physicians Medical Group (MPMG)
  • Primary Care Associates Medical Group (PCAMG)
  • Scripps Clinic Medical Group (SCMG)
  • Scripps Coastal Medical Center (SCMC)
  • Scripps Physicians Medical Group (SPMG)
  • Rady Childrens Health Network (RCHN)

Members use our vast network of quality providers to select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) who coordinates their health care, maintains their medical records, provides routine care and refers members to specialists and other services when medically necessary.

Services by providers that are not in the Scripps Health Plan Network are not covered, except in the case of an emergency.

For more information on prior authorization requirements please click the “Prior Authorization” tab on the left side of this page. The table below highlights key benefits and your out of pocket responsibility under the HMO medical option. Refer to the "Medical Plan Documents" section on the menu bar to the left for a complete description of benefits, exclusions, limitations and more.
