Can I be seen by any TriValley provider if TriValley participates with my HMO?
In most cases, a patient is enrolled with a particular physician. Therefore, the short answer is no. In general, a patient must select and be seen by a particular physician or that physician’s colleagues in that same office. If you desire to be seen by a physician in another office, you must contact the HMO before the appointment. However, each HMO has its own rules for switching providers. Again, please check with your HMO.
