MPTF TIHN Health Centers
Participants living in Southern California have access to an outstanding and personalized source of medical care: the MPTF's TIHN (The Industry Health Network) Health Centers. Regardless of which center you visit, you will receive quality care from a dedicated team of physicians, nurses, and practitioners.
Utilizing TIHN Health Centers Saves You Money
Obtaining a referral for a network specialist, pediatrician, and/or hospital can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses for covered services. When you use a TIHN facility and a TIHN primary care physician, you have a fixed co-pay of $10.
In addition, when your physician refers you to a specialist, you have the same co-pay (for hospitalization you will pay the regular 10% co-insurance). Furthermore, when you use a TIHN physician and referred specialist, your deductible is waived for those visits.
Free Comprehensive Physical Exam
One of the important benefits offered to DGA-Producer Health Plan members through TIHN is a free comprehensive physical exam. Eligible participants receive a free physical from a TIHN physician with no applicable deductible or co-payment.
The following services are provided during the exam:
- Full medical evaluation;
- Update covered vaccinations, if needed;
- Measure weight;
- Blood pressure evaluation;
- Lipid profile and glucose levels testing;
- Women may receive a bone density screening, mammogram, or pap test (dependent on age or necessity); and
- Men may receive a prostate exam or PSA test (dependent on age or necessity).
Participants may receive this free physical exam:
- once every 12 months for participants age 41 and over; or
- once every 24 months for participants between the ages of 19 and 40.
To take advantage of this important benefit, please schedule an appointment with one of the MPTF health centers by calling (800) 654-WELL or call one of the health centers directly.
Flexibility Geared Towards Entertainment Industry Professionals
With evening, Saturday, Sunday, and even holiday hours available, there is a health center that can accommodate even the busiest schedule. The MPTF will always attempt to schedule your appointment for the earliest time available, and will make every attempt to schedule you with your primary care physician for urgent care appointments. Often, same-day appointments can be made. TIHN also provides after-hours assistance if you have an urgent need to speak with a physician.
In addition, you can visit the MPTF website for:
- detailed health center information; and
- to view physician directories.
Participants covered under the HealthNet HMO are not eligible for the Health Plan’s TIHN benefit.
