Primary care physicians are now accepting United Medicare plans and will be accepting SCAN as of Jan. 1, 2016 in addition to several other previously accepted plans. The primary care departments at Loma Linda University Health are devoted to caring for the community for a lifetime. “We are excited to join with our patients on their life’s journey of health and wellness,” said Todd Martel, MD, MBA, FACP, vice president of clinical effectiveness/managed care faculty practice, Loma Linda University Health.
