Some physicians choose not to accept specific Covered California plans because individual health insurance products feature narrower provider networks than commercial employer-sponsored plans. Participating health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and preferred provider organizations (PPOs) establish independent contractual agreements and reimbursement rates with medical groups, and doctors may decline participation if they find network compensation terms unviable or if their specific hospital system is excluded from that particular carrier's network tier.
