Member Advocate Program
The Member Advocate Program is available to members who are covered under Cal-MediConnect and Medi-Cal SPD (Seniors and Persons with Disabilities).
The Member Advocate Program provides non-clinical support and services for Medi-Cal and Cal MediConnect members who need extra assistance with their healthcare. Member Advocates are non-clinical members of the care team who will work with members that have recently been hospitalized or at risk for hospitalization. Member Advocates work with doctors, nurse case managers, pharmacists, and other healthcare team members who are involved in our members’ care.
Through their visits with members, our Member Advocates help to make sure that our members have everything they need to recover after returning home from the hospital. Members who are receiving case management may also be referred to our Member Advocate Program.

What Our Members Say

members are saying.
“I’m very happy with the Member Advocate Program. Having the peace of mind by being able to reach my Member Advocate at any moment was very important to me. I wish I would have known about the program sooner. My father’s quality of life has definitely improved – not just with his appearance, but also because his blood pressure and glucose have stabilized. I believe Regal has over-delivered on their promise and we are truly grateful.” -The son of Abel Becerra, member
“I would like to thank everyone from this program because of the difference they have made in my life. My Member Advocate did not leave anything out with respect to my care. The program definitely exceeded my expectations. I’m glad I discovered this program, because I didn’t realize anything like this existed. The fact that they call me to check how I’m doing and if I need anything is something I will always appreciate.” -Mary Hays, member
