Getting Started With Care

You’re all set to start scheduling appointments. What’s first?
  • Find a Primary Care Physician

    Your primary care physician, or PCP, is your everyday doctor. PCPs can handle most routine care like yearly exams, helping you with minor illnesses, and determining when specialists need to be added to your care plan. For members with HMO plans, you’ll need to have a primary care physician referral to any specialists you wish to see. For members with PPO plans, you don’t need the referral, but primary care physicians can still help you find the right specialist care for your needs.
  • Types of Primary Care Physicians

    You can find in-network PCPs by logging into your portal and searching our Provider Network. The most common types of PCPs are:

    • General Practitioner
    • Family Practitioner
    • Internist/Internal Medicine
