Insurance

Health insurance is vital to us, but we know it is hard to understand all the ins and outs, both for you and for us. We have tried to address some of the most common health insurance questions here, but if we have not covered what you need to know, please call our Business Office at 925-587-2500, or email business.services@baysidemedical.com

What insurance does Bayside accept?

We accept almost all insurance, except for Kaiser HMO (we do accept Kaiser POS), and except for Contra Costa Health Plan. We are members of Hill Physicians Medical Group, Alta Bates Medical Group, and Muir Medical Group. Since we are members of all these insurances, we are “in network providers” for you when you come to Bayside, which means you receive favorable rates.

Does Bayside accept Medi-cal insurance?

As of this writing, we do accept Medi-cal if you are a member of Blue Cross Medi-cal or Alameda Alliance for Health. If you have straight Medi-cal, we will serve you for the first visit with that insurance, but for any subsequent visits we require you to join either Blue Cross or AAH. We do not accept Medi-cal in San Joaquin County.

I have a high deductible health plan – what does that mean?

HDHP’s are relatively new plans that require you to pay the first part of your medical costs every year. They can be hard to understand, so we have created an explanatory paper on them. Click here to access the HDHP paper.
