Welcome to Contra Costa Health Plan's Provider Online Search Engine

Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) has been serving the health care needs of Contra Costa County for over 40 years. This directory gives members, potential members and providers access to our two networks (Regional Medical Center (RMC) and the Community Provider Network (CPN) of physicians, pharmacies, hospitals and ancillary providers.

Whether or not a member is assigned to the RMC or the CPN network, if specialty care is not available in their assigned network, CCHP and the assigned primary care provider (PCP) may arrange for whatever referrals, authorizations, and treatments necessary to see a specialist in a non-assigned network.

In the CCHP provider online search engine above you can search for providers that participate with CCHP's two networks consisting of over 5,000 primary care providers and specialists. If you are a member or potential member it is important for you to understand how our two networks are organized.

CCHP has 2 Provider Networks to choose from.

Our Regional Medical Center Network (RMC) has 10 Health Centers conveniently located throughout the county and the Regional Medical Center Hospital in Martinez. This network contains both primary and specialty care providers to choose from. Members who are enrolled in County Employee Plan A, Plan A2, or IHSS Plan A2, must choose providers from the RMC network only. If the specialty needed is not available within the assigned network, which may be due to, but is not limited to the provider being unable to make an appointment in a timely manner, the provider is located unreasonably far away, or you require a specialty not present in the RMC network, CCHP and the assigned PCP may arrange for whatever referrals, authorizations, and treatments necessary with a specialist that is available in a non-assigned network.

Our Community Provider Network (CPN) is a network of community based private providers of primary and specialty care. Most hospitals in Contra Costa County and the immediate surrounding area are participants. Members who are enrolled in our Medi-Cal plan or County Employee Plan B can choose providers from the CPN or RMC network.

To select the Kaiser Permanente Medical Group as your PCP for Medi-Cal, you must have been a recent Kaiser member or meet other criteria to qualify.

In an effort to provide CCHP members and providers with useful information to make decisions, CCHP updates provider and facility information within thirty (30) business days after we are notified of a change. The online search engine updates nightly based on information entered that day. In addition, on a quarterly basis, CCHP emails a Network Update link to each provider, provider group or facility to report any changes to the information CCHP has on file. Hospital information is verified by viewing the information listed on their website.

Accepting New Patients: This provider accepts both new and existing patients. We collect this information when providers join the network and is reviewed quarterly at the time of the provider network update. If the provider no longer accepts new patients, the provider is required to notify CCHP within five (5) business days. We are dependent on the accuracy and timeliness of changes to the information being reported to CCHP by the providers.

Board Certification: Information on board certification is verified at the time of credentialing and re-verified at least every three years at the time of re-credentialing. The most current board certification status can be verified at The American Board of Medical Specialties website. Board certifications for most Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) can be viewed free at osteopathic.org

Languages Spoken: These abilities are self-reported by the providers in the CPN network when the provider joins the network and at the time of recredentialing. CCHP does not verify these skills. Providers in the CCRMC network are certified in languages spoken in addition to English. Language interpreter services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at no cost to the member. CCHP discourages the use of family members, friends or minors to interpret or translate materials. Members have the choice to refuse professional interpreters and use adult family members or friends. Providers must document this choice in the member's medical record. For further assistance, members can contact Member Services at 1-877-661-6230 option 2 and providers can access interpreter services at 1-877-800-7423 option 4 or directly at 1-866-874-3972.

Specialty is verified when the practitioner joins the network and at the time of recredentialing through state licensing and board certification. In addition, on a quarterly basis, CCHP emails a Network Update link to each provider to report any changes to the information CCHP has on file.
