Be ready for the question
“I want a doctor who speaks Spanish.”
Think MD Senior Care.
That request deserves a name your clients can explore. Introduce MD Senior Care’s Spanish-speaking physician options early in the conversation, then help clients check the doctor, location, and health plan that fit their needs.
In the directory, choose Spanish under the language filter.

What that means for your clients
Care built around life
between appointments.
Use these examples to understand our senior-care priorities. The participating clinician determines the appropriate care, referrals, and follow-up for each patient.
Several conditions. One clearer plan.
A client managing diabetes, blood pressure, or heart or lung disease may need several appointments and instructions. The participating care team helps organize priorities, follow-up, and next steps when symptoms change.
Medication questions deserve attention.
Prescriptions, nonprescription medicines, and supplements all matter. The treating clinician can review the full list, look for duplication or interactions, and explain appropriate changes.
Independence belongs in the conversation.
Mobility, fall risk, memory, mood, and caregiver needs can shape daily life. Participating clinicians consider these concerns in care planning and can involve a caregiver with the patient’s permission.
The next step matters after a hospital stay.
The participating office coordinates relevant records and follow-up after hospital or specialist care. MD Senior Care can direct administrative questions about referrals and case management to the appropriate team.

Turn awareness into a useful conversation
A better introduction starts
with the right details.
For independent agents, agency teams, and FMOs: use this sequence when a client wants to explore MD Senior Care. Plan selection remains the client’s decision.
Start with the person
Ask about preferred language, convenient communities, the physician they want to see, and whether a caregiver will help coordinate visits.
Explore the physician and office
Use our primary care directory. For Spanish-speaking clients, verify that the specific physician speaks Spanish at the intended office and ask about new-patient appointments.
Confirm the complete network match
Have the health plan verify the exact product, physician, office, MD Senior Care IPA assignment, and effective date. A familiar insurance company name alone is not enough.
Connect the client with the office
Once participation and the effective date are confirmed, the office can discuss scheduling and what to bring. Clinical questions go to the care team; coverage questions go to the plan.
Details worth knowing
Answers for your next client conversation.
Why do different practice names appear in the directory?
MD Senior Care is an independent physician association. Participating practices can retain their own names and ownership while working within the IPA network. The network is not a single chain of identical offices.
Does a Spanish-speaking office mean every doctor speaks Spanish?
No. A Spanish-speaking physician, bilingual staff, and interpreter services are different arrangements. Confirm the client’s preference with the specific office and physician. Our directory identifies physician language information to help start that conversation.
What does approximately 94% retention refer to?
MD Senior Care’s internal reporting indicates approximately 94% of patients remain with MD Senior Care Medical Group IPA as a whole. It is an IPA retention figure, not a patient-satisfaction survey or a measure of staying with one doctor.
Who can Medicare brokers and FMOs contact at MD Senior Care?
Contact David Hernandez-Chambi Jr., RN, at dihernandez@hernandezhealth.com to discuss a partnership with MD Senior Care Medical Group IPA. Include your agency or FMO name, the communities you serve, and your questions about our physician network or Spanish-speaking care options. Confirm client-specific plan participation and IPA assignments with the health plan.
Where can brokers find Spanish-speaking doctors in the Inland Empire and High Desert?
MD Senior Care’s primary care directory lists physician languages and office locations, including communities such as Perris, Hemet, Ontario, and Victorville. David Hernandez-Rodriguez, MD, and Ruth Chambi-Hernandez, MD, are listed with English and Spanish. Choose Spanish in the language filter, then confirm the physician, office, availability, and exact health-plan participation.
How can a client select MD Senior Care as their medical group or IPA?
A Medicare broker can help the client review the applicable health-plan process. Ask the health plan to confirm the exact plan product and coverage year, preferred physician and office, whether MD Senior Care IPA can be selected, and the effective date. The client chooses; the plan must confirm the assignment. Then contact the office about new-patient appointments. Contacting our IPA or visiting this page does not automatically change an assignment.

These official websites are starting points for plan information. A carrier’s name or logo does not confirm participation for a specific plan product, physician, or office. Verify the client’s exact plan, provider participation, IPA assignment, and effective date with the health plan.
