MPTF Benefits Overview

The Motion Picture & Television Fund

The Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF) offers numerous services and programs exclusively to entertainment industry professionals. Some of the services offered include:

  • MPTF Health care: The six MPTF Health Centers, operated by UCLA Health, provide high quality health services exclusively to the entertainment industry community;
  • Community programs: child care, geriatric services, and the Saban Center for Health and Wellness;
  • Senior care: retirement living and the Elder Connection program; and
  • Crisis support: financial assistance and counseling.

For more information about these services and the many additional services available, please visit the MPTF website.

MPTF Health Centers

Participants living, working or just visiting in Southern California have access to an outstanding and personalized source of medical care: the MPTF Health Centers, operated by UCLA Health. Regardless of which center you visit, you will receive quality care from a dedicated team of physicians, nurses, and practitioners.

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. MPTF Health Centers 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. MPTF also provides after-hours assistance if you have an urgent need to speak with a physician.

The Santa Clarita Health Center has moved to 23861 McBean Parkway, Suite E-24, Valencia, CA 91355. For more information about this move, click here.

You can visit the UCLA Health/MPTF website for:

  • detailed health center information; and
  • to view physician directories.

Utilizing MPTF 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 an MPTF Health Center and 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 an MPTF physician and referred specialist, your deductible is not applied to those visits.

Free Comprehensive Physical Exam

One of the important benefits offered to DGA-Producer Health Plan members through MPTF is a free comprehensive physical exam. Eligible participants and spouses receive a free physical from an MPTF Health Center 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).

Eligible participants and spouses may receive this free physical exam:

  • once each calendar year when age 41 and over; or
  • once every two calendar years when 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) 876-8320.
