Understanding UCLA Health plans
UCLA Health offers two 2026 Medicare Advantage HMO options in Los Angeles County: Principal (H4647-001) and Prestige (H4647-002). Availability is based on your permanent residential address, and the two plans have different premiums, maximum out-of-pocket limits, and supplemental benefits.
A UCLA Health name on a plan or facility does not confirm that every physician, specialist, clinic, or location participates. Check the exact provider and medical group for the exact plan, then review prescriptions, pharmacies, referrals, prior authorization rules, and total expected costs.
Skyline Benefit can help California Medicare beneficiaries organize these checks and compare the plan documents. The carrier directory and current plan documents control provider participation, availability, benefits, and costs.
Reviewed August 30, 2026. Skyline Benefit will review this page when approved 2027 carrier materials become available. Until then, the 2026 documents and benefits shown here remain plan-year-specific.
