North County Internists (NCI) is a single specialty medical group comprised of
six physicians board-certified in internal medicine. Our office is
located in Poway, conveniently near Pomerado Hospital and other medical
complexes. We can offer a wide range of diagnostic services in-office, such as
stress testing and bone density scans. For lab tests or procedures
involving radiology, we can refer patients to facilities in the immediate area.
When consultations by other medical specialists are necessary, we can work with
the patient to ensure that they are referred to the best providers within a
reasonable distance.
NCI accepts all types of insurances. For patients over the age of 65, we
are a licensed Medicare provider and accept many supplemental Medicare plans,
including AARP and Tricare for Life. We also accept coverage from most
Health Maintenance Orgainzations (HMO's). Those patients contracted with
an HMO can join our practice through Sharp
Community Medical Group (SCMG), a well-respected and successful Independent
Practice Association (IPA). There are almost 800 primary care and specialty
physicians associated with SCMG, and member physicians currently provide medical
care to over 165,000 people. We also work with a limited number of
Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO's). Patients are encouraged to click
on the Health Plans Link to see if their particular insurance provider is
contracted with our office..
