Coverage for Medicare Beneficiaries

With these plans, you must choose a primary care doctor in either the Cedars-Sinai Medical Group or Cedars-Sinai Health Associates, and will be referred to specialists within these groups.

If you are eligible for both Medicare and Medi-Cal, you should do one of two things to ensure coverage for Cedars-Sinai:

• Opt out of Cal MediConnect and keep the same fee-for-service Medicare benefit that you already have, or
• Enroll in the Cal MediConnect program through one of the following:
  • L.A. Care Health Cal MediConnect Plan
  • CareMore Cal MediConnect (MMP)
  • CareMore Connect (DSNP)
