Sutter Health Plan expands service area in Placer County

Sutter Health Plan announced recently it is expanding its Northern California service area to include more coverage in Placer County. Sutter officials say this change is effective Oct. 1 for small groups and Jan. 1, 2027 for large groups and individuals and families. The new service area includes additional ZIP codes in Placer, Sonoma and Sutter counties and portions of Amador and Yuba counties. The expanded service area is expected to give more local employers and residents access to Sutter Health Plan as a coverage option and its network of doctors, hospitals and care teams. The expansion marks Sutter Health Plan's sixth service area growth, said Aparna Abburi, CEO of Sutter Health Plan. "Our goal is to make it easier for people to access the care they need, when and where they need it," said Abburi. "By expanding our service area, we're giving more communities access to Sutter's full network of doctors, hospitals and care teams while providing employers and consumers with more coverage options." Sutter Health Plan now serves commercial customers across 18 counties. Sutter Health was recently named No. 2 nationally among large health systems on Premier's 15 Top Health Systems® list.
