05 October 2022 - 2:00AM
In a move expected to bolster access to high-quality health
care and services for members in Southern California, Alignment
Health Plan, a tech-enabled Medicare Advantage insurance provider,
today announced a new provider agreement with Torrance Memorial
Medical Center and Torrance Memorial Physician Network. Effective
Oct. 1, the agreement provides members enrolled in Alignment’s PPO
plans in Los Angeles access to more than 200 primary and specialty
care physicians and an award-winning, regional hospital.
“At the heart of what we provide our members is both value and
choice in their care. Expanding our network in Southern California
gives our members more choice in their care teams,” said Dawn
Maroney, markets president at Alignment Health. “With Torrance
Memorial as part of our network, we can continue to address and
support senior health needs by empowering and working with doctors
to coordinate care for our members.”
For more than 95 years, Torrance Memorial Medical Center has
served Southern Californians, primarily residents in the South Bay,
Peninsula and Harbor communities. A 443-bed nonprofit hospital,
Torrance Memorial was recently honored as a Best Hospital for
2022-23 for the eleventh straight year by U.S. News & World
Report, placing the hospital in the top 3% in California, and
ranking 5th in the Los Angeles and Orange region. It also was
recognized by Newsweek as part of its World’s Best Hospitals 2022
list, ranking 39th best hospital in the U.S. and 10th best in
California.
“As an organization with a mission of putting patients first and
improving health care in the communities we serve, Torrance
Memorial is proud to partner with Alignment Health, an organization
that also centers around the needs of their members,” said Keith
Hobbs, executive vice president, Torrance Memorial.
As part of Torrance Memorial, Torrance Memorial Physician
Network serves as a multi-specialty medical practice that consists
of more than 160 physicians providing advanced comprehensive,
coordinated care across a range of primary and specialty care,
including cancer care, cardiology, endocrinology, infectious
disease, neurology, OBGYN, orthopedics, otolaryngology, pain
management, palliative care, pediatrics, physical therapy,
pulmonology and rheumatology.
Torrance Memorial joins Alignment’s comprehensive provider
network in Southern California that includes nationally recognized
providers such as UCI Health, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian
and Cedars-Sinai. The agreement comes in advance of the annual
enrollment period for Medicare, which runs from Oct. 15 through
