How to make us your Medi-Cal clinic
If your Medi-Cal is assigned to a different clinic, you can change it. You do not need a reason, and you do not need permission from the clinic you are leaving. It takes one phone call.
-
Call us first
Tell us the plan name on your card and we will confirm we are in your network before you change anything. (559) 424-0610.
-
Call your health plan
Use the number on the back of your Medi-Cal card — CalViva Health or Anthem Blue Cross — and ask to change your assigned primary care provider to Arya Medical Group in Mendota.
-
Wait for it to take effect
Changes usually start on the first day of the following month. Your plan will confirm the date, and so will we.
-
Come and see us
Once it is active, call and book. If you need to be seen before the change goes through, call anyway — we will work it out.
We accept Medi-Cal here
Medi-Cal patients are welcome and we are taking new ones. CalViva Health, Anthem Blue Cross, Medicare and most major plans — we verify your coverage before your visit so there is no surprise bill afterward.
Your Medi-Cal covers these visits
Everything below is routine primary care, and for most Medi-Cal patients there is nothing to pay. Call (559) 424-0610 and we will confirm your plan before you come in.
