Cooler heads prevail in Graybill, Palomar Health Medical Group - Escondido Times-Advocate

In previous news, it was announced that Graybill Medical Group (Graybill) would be ending its affiliation with Palomar Health Medical Group (PHMG), with Graybill ceasing to provide services to patients in the Murrieta, Temecula, Fallbrook, Vista, Oceanside, San Marcos, El Norte, 2nd Avenue Escondido and Valley Center offices effective November 11, 2024.

With their patients in mind during this transition, recent discussions have led to a new agreement that prioritizes a seamless continuity of care. With this new agreement, Graybill physicians will continue to practice at the following locations: Murrieta, Temecula, Fallbrook, Vista, Oceanside, San Marcos, El Norte, and 2nd Avenue Escondido. Effective November 11, 2024, PHMG physicians will continue to practice at the Valley Center location, as this location will remain under PHMG’s operation. Dr. Julia Martin, a family practice physician employed by Graybill, will transition from Valley Center to 2nd Avenue Escondido.

To ensure patients continue to receive the extraordinary care they have come to expect, Graybill will continue to collaborate with Palomar Health by utilizing PHMG and Palomar Medical Centers to ensure continuity of patient care. Graybill patients who have been referred to a PHMG specialist for specialized care can maintain their appointments with the PHMG provider they’ve come to know and trust. This commitment ensures that patients ongoing treatments will proceed seamlessly, without any interruptions.

The ongoing relationship between both organizations and their patients remains a top priority, and this resolution ensures that there will be no disruption in patient care during the transition.

Despite this agreement, the affiliation between PHMG and Graybill will come to an end. Graybill will establish a new partnership with Sharp Community Medical Group.

What This Means for Patients:

1. Location Stability: Graybill’s office locations will remain the same, except for Valley Center, ensuring minimal disruption to patient services.

2. Seamless Care: Patients will continue to see their same doctors and receive the high- quality care they have come to expect.

3. Insurance Coverage: Graybill will maintain its current participation in all major insurance networks, ensuring patients can continue their care without needing to change health plans.

4. Referral Network Continuity: The referral processes between Palomar Medical Center and Graybill Medical Group will remain intact. Graybill patients receiving care from PHMG specialists will not experience any interruptions.
