What is a primary care doctor or PCP?
Your primary care doctor (also called primary care physician or PCP) is your main doctor, and will become familiar with your health history, coordinate your care and help you get treatment from specialists when needed. Doctors who specialize in family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics — as well as some OBGYNs and cardiologists— are all considered primary care doctors.
What's the difference between an internal medicine doctor and a family medicine doctor?
Family medicine doctors and internal medicine doctors are both types of primary care doctors. Family medicine doctors provide care to patients of all ages. Internal medicine doctors provide care to patients age 18 and older.
When and how can I change my primary care doctor?
Most insurance plans allow you to switch your primary care doctor once per month. This includes changes between health systems. You do not need to wait for open enrollment so long as your new doctor accepts your health insurance.
It's a good idea to find a primary care doctor you trust and are comfortable with, and who is conveniently located so they can get to know your health needs and history over time.
If you want to change your primary care doctor, we make it easy to search for a new doctor based on location, specialty and more. Make sure you call your health plan's member services department to inform them of any change to your primary care doctor. The phone number is usually located on the back of your insurance card.
We'll help find the doctor who's right for you.
