Joining AMVI/Prospect Health Network simply starts with CalOptima. The enrollment process differs based on benefits that you are applying for. These two distinct processes are more clearly defined below:

Medi-Cal and Healthy Families Participants

Step 1

Once it has been determined that you are eligible for Medi-Cal or Healthy Families benefits, you will be mailed a packet from CalOptima instructing you to choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP) from a directory listing and indicate your choice of PCP and affiliated Network on the enrollment form. Look for a doctor affiliated with the AMVI/Prospect Health Network [PHC#027] that meets your current geographical and language needs.

In order to assist you in finding out additional information regarding your choice of doctors in the AMVI/Prospect Health Network, you may use our website tool which supplements any information you may receive in your enrollment packet from CalOptima. Simply click on the Find a Doctor link to see a list of participating providers.

Step 2

Once you have selected your preferred doctor, complete the enrollment form as required and return the required information to CalOptima. You will receive a membership ID shortly thereafter indicating the physician of your choice and the corresponding health network.
