Medicare and Paradise Valley Hospital

Paradise Valley Hospital in National City is a longtime community hospital serving the South Bay — National City, Chula Vista, Bonita, and the surrounding neighborhoods. If it's your local hospital, here's how Medicare works with it.

Original Medicare and Medigap

Paradise Valley is a Medicare-enrolled hospital and accepts Original Medicare (Part A and Part B). A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan lets you continue using Paradise Valley and other Medicare providers without network restrictions or referrals to stay in-network.

Medicare Advantage

Paradise Valley works with a number of Medicare Advantage plans, and it serves many South Bay residents who are enrolled in them. As with any Advantage plan, the specific doctors and services covered depend on the plan's network, which can change each year — so confirm before you enroll.

If you have both Medicare and Medi-Cal

Many South Bay residents qualify for both Medicare and Medi-Cal. If that's you, there are plans built specifically for people with both — and Paradise Valley serves a large number of these patients. Coordinating Medicare and Medi-Cal correctly can affect your costs and your access, and it's an area I help people navigate often. If you're dual-eligible and want to keep Paradise Valley, that's worth a conversation.

How I can help

As a licensed independent broker, I'll review your doctors, your prescriptions, and — if it applies — your Medi-Cal eligibility against your options, so you get access to the care you want without surprises. There's no cost to you, since brokers are compensated by the insurance carriers.
