    Insurance Information - HMO plans

    If you have an HMO plan and are looking for a new physician, you may contact your insurance company directly and request to have Dr. Jodie Escobedo, Dr. Brian Madden, or Dr. Wakana Saeki assigned as your Primary Care Physician. Depending on your insurance company and plan, one or more of the Peak physicians should have an open panel for you to join.

    Currently, the Peak physicians have open panels under the Bay Area Medical Group IPA and Prospect Healthsource IPA. As the IPA, not the primary care provider, determines the specialty network and affiliated hospitals, please be aware of the panel's affiliated IPA medical group if you have a particular preference for a specialist physician or hospital that should be "covered under the HMO".

    Any of the physicians in the Peak Health offices are authorized to provide services for patients assigned under another Peak Health physician. 

    Even if you have HMO insurance under a plan listed above, if these physicians are not assigned to you as your primary care physician, your insurance may not reimburse us for your visit and we may ask that you make other arrangements for payment at the time of service.  Some HMO plans will allow for partial reimbursement for our services (i.e. tier II level of service) even if we are not assigned as your primary care providers - contact the office or your insurance company for more information.
