How the Plan Works: It's easy!

  • Choose CenCal Health and pick one of the Primary Care Physicians (PCP) from our list (almost all of our PCP offices have staff who speak Spanish). We will send you a new member welcome packet with an ID card and Evidence of Coverage / Member Handbook.
  • The PCP you choose for your child will provide care and refer your child to other doctors if needed. You may change your child’s PCP once a month.
  • You can even call some of the other doctors yourself to arrange an appointment directly:
    • Chiropractors for 20 visits per year
    • Acupuncturists for 20 visits per year
    • Gynecologists for yearly well woman exams
  • Plus, you may get the prescription drugs you need from pharmacies right in your neighborhood.
