People with eligibility to use MPTF Health Centers and all services listed on the healthcare section of our website include: employees and retirees of with companies involved in production and distribution (such as theatrical/motion pictures and television programming; studio-owned recording; radio broadcasting; theme park industries; and members of entertainment unions and guilds) and people working for associated businesses (such as guilds and unions and their affiliated health plans; entertainment magazines; independent productions; talent agencies; public relations agencies; and entertainment personnel for freelance projects who have proof of employment). Additionally, eligibility includes spouses and same-sex life partners, widows, children 13 and older, and parents or parents-in-law of eligible participants, listed above. A range of insurance plans is accepted, including Medicare. (Medicare Advantage HMO plans are not accepted.)

In order to ensure continuity of care MPTF recognizes a three-year eligibility period. This means that individuals who receive services at MPTF Health Centers will automatically remain eligible for such services for a three-year period. Patients who no longer meet eligibility requirements as described above and have not received services at the health centers for more than three years will have to re-qualify in order to receive services.

Eligibility will be checked and confirmed at the time an appointment is made with an individual health center. A complete list of MPTF Health Centers is listed in our Healthcare section.

Wellness Eligibility

Eligibility for gym membership at our Saban Center for Health and Wellness includes access to our fitness floor, the pool in the aquatic pavilion, and associated classes. Eligibility maintains the eligibility requirements described in the Healthcare Eligibility section (top of this page), and this includes a three-year eligibility period. However, insurance coverage is not required. Should you opt for CompletePT (physical therapy) services and or Age Well programs, these do require insurance coverage for applicable services.

Eligibility will be checked and confirmed after you contact the Saban Center for Health and Wellness. For contact information, click on our Wellness section.

Aid & Services Eligibility

Eligibility for financial assistance programs is determined on a case-by-case evaluation, but generally requires a minimum of seven qualifying years of entertainment industry employment. We strive to help you meet eligibility requirements if at all possible. If requirements are met, financial assistance may be given within a few days.

Eligibility for referral services, Home Safe Home, and Elder Connection maintains the eligibility requirements described in the Healthcare Eligibility section (top of this page), but, importantly, non-industry members may seek assistance on behalf of industry members, active and retired.

MPTF provides aid and services to thousands of industry members each year. Please call us at 323-634-3888 for evaluation of your eligibility or to discuss your individual needs. We endeavor to help in any circumstance.

Seniors Eligibility

If you are 65 or over, active or retired, and are vested or not vested in a retiree health plan, then you are eligible to receive care at MPTF Health Centers or through Age Well. We also care for parents and parents-in-law of entertainment industry members, as described above. Insurance coverage is required. We accept Medicare. (Medicare Advantage HMO plans are not accepted.)

For Elder Connection, Home Safe Home, and Neighborhood Community Council, you must meet the industry affiliation (either as active or retired) described in the Healthcare Eligibility section (top of this page) or you must be seeking services on behalf of an individual who meets those requirements. Elder Connection Services may require additional eligibility screening, depending on individual need.
