Stanford Health Care is in-network for hospital services. Your assigned medical group (Hill Physicians, SCCIPA, or Meritage Medical Network) must refer and authorize all services provided by Stanford Health Care specialist. You would not be able to select a Stanford Health Care physician as your primary care physician.

Kaiser members must obtain a referral from their Kaiser primary care or specialist physician and an authorization from their health plan for any services to be covered and considered in-network here at Stanford Health Care. You would not be able to select a Stanford Health Care physician as your primary care physician.

Stanford Health Care is in-network for hospital and specialist physician services only. You would not be able to select a Stanford Health Care physician as your primary care physician.

In order to be seen at Stanford Health Care, your primary care physician or your specialist physician would need to refer you and your medical group or health plan would need to authorize all services provided at Stanford Health Care or by Stanford Health Care physicians. 

Stanford Health Care will not be participating in any Individual/Family PPO plans in 2023. We continue our efforts for in-network participation for the 2024 plan year. If you participated in the Health Net IFP PPO plan that will sunset at the end of 2022 you may contact Stanford's Financial Counseling Department to inquire about self-pay discounts for your services in 2023. If you elect to join a new plan you can work with your new insurance company to request a continuity of care provision that will allow you to continue to see your Stanford care team for a specified amount of time.
