Figuring out what your insurance actually covers should not feel like a second job. Most of our patients in Doral are looking for a primary care provider who is already in-network with their plan, so the copay is predictable and the paperwork does not pile up. Viva Medical Center is in-network with Oscar Health, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Ambetter, UnitedHealthcare, and several Medicaid managed care plans. This page explains what in-network means in practical terms, how to verify your coverage before your visit, and what to expect when you arrive. If you prefer to skip to the phone call, our front-desk team verifies eligibility on the spot at (305) 209-0001.
What 'In-Network' Means at Viva Medical Center
When a provider is in-network with your insurance, the clinic and the insurance company have already negotiated rates for common services. That is what keeps your out-of-pocket costs predictable.
- You pay your plan's standard primary care copay, not a retail rate
- Preventive visits (annual wellness, screenings, many vaccines) are typically covered at 100% with no copay
- Labs and imaging ordered from our clinic are billed through your plan at in-network rates
- Referrals to specialists are coordinated by our team so you stay inside your plan's network
- You do not get balance-billed for the difference between our charge and your plan's allowed amount
- Claims are submitted electronically after your visit — no stack of paperwork to mail in

How to Verify Your Coverage Before the Visit
Most insurance cards list our provider network. If yours is unclear, we do the legwork before you walk in. Here is how to check in under three minutes.
- Call us at (305) 209-0001 and read the Member ID and Group number from the front of your insurance card
- Our front-desk team runs a live eligibility check against the carrier and tells you the copay before you book
- If you want to verify yourself, call the Member Services number on the back of your card and ask if 'Viva Medical Center in Doral, FL' is an in-network provider
- Bring your photo ID and insurance card to your visit — the eligibility check is repeated at check-in so the claim goes through cleanly
- If your plan requires a primary care provider (PCP) designation, we can help you assign Viva Medical Center as your PCP during the call

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Viva Medical Center in-network with Oscar Health?
Yes. Viva Medical Center in Doral, FL is in-network with Oscar Health marketplace plans, including Oscar Classic and Oscar Gold. Call (305) 209-0001 with your Member ID and we will confirm your specific plan tier before you book. Most Oscar primary care visits have a $0 or low copay for preventive care.
Do you accept Aetna, Cigna, and Humana?
Yes. We are in-network with Aetna commercial and Medicare Advantage plans, Cigna commercial and HealthSpring Medicare Advantage, and Humana commercial and Medicare Advantage. Each carrier has several plan tiers, so we verify your exact plan during intake. Bring your insurance card and photo ID to the first visit.
Can I make Viva Medical Center my Primary Care Provider (PCP)?
Yes, for plans that require a PCP designation (most HMO and Medicare Advantage plans). Call your insurance Member Services line or let our team handle the change on your behalf during your first visit. The PCP update usually takes effect within 24-48 hours and allows referrals to in-network specialists to go through without extra approvals.
What does an in-network primary care visit cost in Doral?
It depends on your plan. Preventive visits (annual wellness, screenings) are often covered 100% with no copay. Problem-focused visits carry your plan's primary care copay, typically $20-$50 on commercial plans and $0-$15 on Medicare Advantage plans. Our front desk tells you the exact dollar amount before you book.
Can I still be seen if I am between insurance plans?
Yes. We see self-pay patients at a published flat rate, quoted before you book. Many patients use this option during a gap between jobs or while a new plan activates. If you expect new coverage to start soon, we can also bill you at the self-pay rate and issue a corrected invoice once your plan is active.
Do in-network benefits apply to telehealth visits?
Yes for almost all our carriers. Telehealth follow-up visits are billed under your telemedicine benefit and charged the same in-network copay as an in-person follow-up. Virtual visits are available for medication refills, chronic disease check-ins, lab review, and minor acute concerns. Call (305) 209-0001 or book online to schedule.
Do you accept Medicaid?
We accept several Medicaid managed care plans, including Simply Healthcare, select Molina plans, and Aetna Better Health. Florida Medicaid rules change regularly, so call with your plan name and Member ID for a quick verification. If your specific Medicaid plan is not accepted, we can refer you to a nearby in-network provider.
What should I bring to my first in-network visit?
Your insurance card, a photo ID, and a list of current medications (including dosages). If you have recent lab results, imaging reports, or specialist notes from another provider, those help us avoid ordering duplicate tests. Arrive 10 minutes early so the front desk can finalize your eligibility check and intake paperwork.
