When you enroll in Sutter Health Plus, you and each covered family member selects a primary care physician (PCP). A PCP is your healthcare advocate— providing or coordinating most of your care such as routine exams, preventive care and treatment for illnesses and minor injuries. Choose a PCP you trust as your healthcare partner.

Visit the Provider Locator to search for a PCP and learn more about the Sutter Health Plus provider network. Narrow your search by:

• Entering the city/state or ZIP code of the area and the mile radius
• Selecting the type of PCP you want from the “Primary Care Specialties” category
• Checking the “Accepting new patients” box
• Selecting a specialty, medical group, or other criteria

You can also search for a specific doctor by last name.

New Sutter Health Plus Members

Once you have selected a PCP, enter the name and Sutter Health Plus provider number on your enrollment form.

Existing Sutter Health Patients

If your current Sutter-affiliated PCP also participates in the Sutter Health Plus network, you don’t need to change physicians—even if the practice is closed to new patients.

Understand Your Medical Group

When you choose a PCP, you also select your physician’s medical group. Your PCP refers you to providers within the medical group for specialty care, X-ray, laboratory and other medical services. Coverage for these services depends on prior authorization from your medical group.

If you know you need specialty care and have a specific specialist in mind, check the provider directory to see what medical group the specialist is in. Make sure you choose your PCP within that medical group.

If after enrollment you want to change your PCP, call Member Services Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. at (855) 315-5800 or visit the Sutter Health Plus Member Portal.
