Choose a primary care physician

They are the person you think of as “your doctor,” and oversees your health care. This includes providing routine care and maintaining your medical records.

Remember, your PCP must coordinate your services for care to be covered. If you need to see a specialist, ask your PCP if a referral or authorization is needed.
