Welcome! UC Davis Health (including UC Davis Medical Group) partners with several health insurance plans to create an HMO that provides affordable, quality care with outstanding providers.
An HMO or “health maintenance organization” is the most well-known type of “managed care” health plan. This type of plan strives to keep your care affordable by focusing on prevention and wellness, and also by using a set network of contracted doctors and care providers.
By choosing a HMO or other managed care plan that includes UC Davis Health, you have agreed to help keep your care more affordable by:
- Using physicians and care providers from a specific network, unless your plan states otherwise.
- Getting permissions or “authorizations” first before seeking most types of care, if you want your plan to cover and pay for your care.
This website has resources and contacts to help you with this.
