  Call your PCP to schedule an appointment

  New members: call your PCP to schedule an appointment within the first 60 days of joining HPSM. Do this even if you are healthy. Your PCP will give you a health exam, review your health concerns and find out what kind of care you need.

  Find out how to get your medications

  Search our online formulary or ask a pharmacist. If your medications need prior authorization, call your doctor to get the authorization.

  Make sure you take the Health Risk Assessment (HRA)

  Your HRA tells HPSM and your providers what kind of care you need to stay as healthy as possible. It only takes about 30 minutes to complete. Call 1-888-234-6403 (toll free) or 650-227-4670 between 8am and 5pm.

  Find out how to get your medical supplies
