State Fund Medical Provider Network (MPN)

















      State Fund’s Medical Provider Network (MPN) helps employers manage their medical costs through a diverse
      network of qualified physicians, specialists, and providers that specialize in the treatment of occupational injuries.

      Quality Care and Medical Control
      The State Fund MPN is made up of a group of select physicians and other medical service providers within
       California:

            Many of the MPN physicians and providers primarily treat occupational injuries.
            Other MPN providers specialize in general areas of medicine.
            If necessary, the MPN will provide specialists to treat the injury or illness.

      Using the MPN for treating occupational injuries and illnesses gives employers medical control for the life of the
      claim, with limited exceptions.

      Convenient and Accessible
      Statewide, our MPN provides covered employees with:

            Approved medical facilities close to home or work.
            Many facilities open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
