HEAL is available in select counties: Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Members can make an appointment with a licensed doctor to come to their home or office in two hours or on their schedule. Hours of availability are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, including holidays.
Standard reimbursement rates for doctors in the plan apply. The member is responsible for all out-of-pocket copay or coinsurance amounts, as usual. The member pays $99 out-of-pocket per visit, if the plan deductible still needs to be met. If the deductible has been met, the member simply pays the usual copay amount.
