Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Primary Care Physician (PCP)?
A Primary Care Physician (PCP) is a doctor you select under your health insurance plan to be your personal physician. A PCP can be specialized in Family Practice, General Practice, Family Practice or Pediatrics. The relationship you have with your PCP is very important because he/she is responsible for managing all aspects of your care. Your PCP is responsible for referring you to specialty physicians.
What is a Medical Group?
When you choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP) you also choose his/her medical group. A medical group is formed when primary care physicians come together to contract with health plans and serve the community. These physicians have contracted with specialist physicians, hospitals and other health care providers to form a network.
