Frequently asked questions

What does a primary care doctor do?

A PCP manages your overall health — annual physicals, vaccines, preventive screenings, chronic disease care, and referrals to specialists when needed.

Do I need a referral to see a specialist?

It depends on your plan. HMOs typically require a referral from your PCP. PPOs and EPOs usually do not.

How often should I see my primary care doctor?

Most adults benefit from an annual wellness visit. People managing chronic conditions usually need more frequent follow-up.
