    Because the only Medicare plans Edinger Medical Group accepts are select Medicare Advantage HMO plans, we introduced the Elevate Senior Program in January 2025 to allow patients with other Medicare plans the opportunity to receive care from us. Individuals with a Medicare Advantage PPO or Original Medicare with a Supplement Plan are welcome to apply to this program.

    Membership Benefits

    Our Membership Ambassador will guide you through the enrollment process, as well as answer questions about payment and membership benefits.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Our Fountain Valley office shares a campus with MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center located at 9900 Talbert Ave, Suites 301-302. Our Huntington Beach office recently relocated to 20981 Magnolia St. Contact us to schedule a private tour!

    No. There are a select few doctors who do not travel to both offices. Please feel free to contact us if you have a physician and location preference.

    You may select and change your doctor based on availability. If your desired doctor is not accepting new Elevate members, you may join their waitlist and see another doctor in the meantime.

    The answer to this question is based on your insurance type. All HMO patients require a referral from your doctor, and you must see an in-network specialist. If you have a PPO plan, you may visit any hospital or specialist. However, you will not be cared for by an EMG doctor at Orange Coast Medical Center in the event you are hospitalized—unless you are an Elevate Plus member.

    Our senior care department is a small group of compassionate, highly skilled staff members who assist with scheduling appointments, requests for referrals, medication refills or lab work, sending messages to your doctor, and more. Most importantly, we offer a senior care direct phone line to all Elevate patients for easier access to care—no more waiting on hold.

    To begin, fill out the Contact Us form below or call 714.965.2557. Our team will gladly confirm your eligibility and guide you through the enrollment process.
