Which Medicare Advantage plans include Intermountain doctors?

Quick Answer

SelectHealth Medicare Advantage plans are the most closely aligned with Intermountain Health's physician network, since SelectHealth is owned by Intermountain. Other carriers may include some Intermountain-affiliated doctors, but coverage varies by plan and location.

Detailed Explanation

SelectHealth is the insurance arm of Intermountain Health, so their Medicare Advantage plans are built around that network. If seeing Intermountain physicians is a priority for you, SelectHealth is the most natural starting point. Many Intermountain-employed doctors participate in SelectHealth plans as in-network providers.That said, some Intermountain physicians also contract with other carriers. Whether your specific doctor is in-network with UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Regence, or another carrier depends on individual contracts, not just the health system they work for. A doctor being part of Intermountain Health does not automatically mean they accept every plan in the market.The only reliable way to confirm your doctor is covered is to look them up in the plan's provider directory, or call the plan directly before you enroll. You can also call your doctor's billing office and ask which Medicare Advantage plans they currently accept. Provider participation can change from year to year, so do this check close to your enrollment window, not months in advance.

How This Applies in Utah

SelectHealth is owned by Intermountain Health and anchors its Medicare Advantage networks around Intermountain-affiliated physicians. Other carriers may include some Intermountain doctors, but you need to verify each plan's directory individually.

What This Means For You

For you, this means if keeping your Intermountain doctor is non-negotiable, SelectHealth is worth comparing first, but always confirm your specific provider is listed before you sign up.

‍How Resting Sycamore Advisors Uses CMS Data

Our Commitment to Reliable Medicare Information

At Resting Sycamore Advisors, we work to provide accurate, current, and trustworthy information about Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, and Special Needs Plans.

To do that, we use data published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which is the official source for Medicare plan and enrollment information.

CMS Data Sources We Rely On

Our Medicare plan pages and comparison tools are powered by CMS datasets, including:

  • Medicare Advantage and Part D Landscape Files for annual plan availability and benefit details
  • Plan Benefits Package (PBP) Files for detailed benefit and coverage information
  • Part C and Part D Performance Data for quality ratings and plan performance measures
  • Monthly Enrollment Data for enrollment counts by contract, plan, state, and county

When possible, we link to the original CMS resources so you can review the source material directly.

How Often We Update Our Data

We follow the CMS release schedule and update our website as new data becomes available.

Annual Plan Year Updates (September)

We load new plan year Landscape and PBP files before the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 through December 7). We also monitor CMS.gov for updates or revisions and refresh our content when needed.

Mid-Year Updates

We update enrollment and performance data as CMS publishes revised files, which are typically released monthly or quarterly.

Ongoing Maintenance

We routinely monitor CMS announcements for corrections, reissued files, or other changes and update our pages accordingly.

Each plan page includes a Last Accessed date so visitors can see when the source information was most recently reviewed.

How We Prepare CMS Data for Our Website

CMS data can be difficult to read in raw form. To make it easier to use, we format and organize the data for clarity.

This includes:

  • Standardizing plan identifiers such as contract ID, plan ID, and segment
  • Normalizing terminology so common Medicare terms are presented consistently
  • Organizing plan information by state, county, and ZIP code to match how people shop for coverage

All data values come from CMS. We do not change the underlying values beyond formatting, organization, and presentation.

Version Tracking and Transparency

We keep internal records of the CMS dataset versions used on our site.

Major Version History

  • Current Version: CY2025 Medicare Advantage and Part D Landscape Files (v1.0, published October 2025)
  • Prior Version: None. Resting Sycamore Advisors first began publishing structured Medicare plan information in March 2025

If CMS issues corrected or revised files, we update our website to reflect the latest available version.

Important Limitations

Please keep the following in mind:

  • CMS is the official source of truth. For enrollment and coverage decisions, always confirm details with Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE.
  • Data timing can vary. Enrollment and performance updates may appear on our website a few weeks after CMS publishes changes.
  • Plan details can change. Plan availability, costs, and benefits may change. Always verify current details directly with the plan provider.
