What do I do if I need care while traveling outside of California?

If you need care while traveling outside of California and are enrolled in LA Care Covered, it is important to understand your coverage and options. Generally, LA Care provides certain benefits for emergency and urgent care services when you are outside of California. In most cases, emergency services are covered regardless of your location, meaning you can seek care without worrying about potential out-of-network charges. For non-emergency services, it is advisable to first check whether the provider you intend to see is part of the LA Care network. You can do this by visiting the LA Care website and using their provider directory tool. Additionally, it is useful to understand the specific provisions of your plan, as coverage may vary depending on the type of plan you have. If you experience a medical issue while traveling, your best course of action is to seek necessary care promptly. Afterward, it is recommended that you contact LA Care to ensure that you have the required documentation for any claims you might need to file.
