Sharp Medical Groups

A medical group is a network of doctors who have agreed to work together to contract with health plans and to coordinate patient care. When you choose a medical group, you are choosing the specific group of doctors who will provide your care — from primary care physicians to specialists.

If your insurance is a PPO, you do not need to choose a medical group.

If your insurance is an HMO, it is important to choose a medical group because all of your care will be provided by doctors in that group. 

Sharp's two medical groups make it easy for you to find a doctor you're comfortable with at a location that's convenient for you. Both medical groups offer direct access to The Sharp Experience, clinical excellence, advanced technology and coordinated, affordable care.
