Welcome to L.A. Care

L.A. Care wants to make your experience with us as enjoyable as possible and here are some helpful tips on getting started:
 

Member ID Card

Your L.A. Care Member ID Card has the name of your health plan, your member ID number, and your Primary Care Provider (PCP) with his/her number. Use your Member ID Card when you visit your doctor, pharmacy and other health care providers. 
 

Provider Network

When you join L.A. Care, you can choose your PCP. You can change your PCP at any time. Your PCP will refer you to specialists when needed, such as cardiologists and surgeons. 
 

Pharmacy Services

You can find a pharmacy in your provider directory, on our website, or by calling L.A. Care Member Services at 1-888-839-9909 (TTY 711)
