How this clinic compares in Los Angeles

This is an opioid treatment program, so medication is usually taken on site rather than picked up at a pharmacy.

VA Los Angeles Ambulatory Care Center is one of 112 buprenorphine providers listed in Los Angeles. On the coverage and access signals the registry records, it is indistinguishable from 16 other Los Angeles clinics, so treat the points below as the real differences rather than any ranking.

What stands out here

  • It doses on site as an opioid treatment program. Only 13 of 112 Los Angeles clinics do (12%).
  • It is accredited by the Joint Commission. Only 13 of 112 Los Angeles clinics do (12%).
  • It runs a program for pregnant or postpartum patients. Only 20 of 112 Los Angeles clinics do (18%).

What it does not report

  • No record that it accepts private insurance. 63% of Los Angeles clinics do, so this is worth confirming rather than assuming.

Worth asking when you call

  • Whether they are taking new patients, which changes faster than the registry updates.
  • The self-pay price for a first visit, and whether the medication is billed separately.
  • How soon a first appointment is available, and what to bring.
