Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to see a specialist?

HMO plans typically require a referral from your PCP. PPO and EPO plans usually do not, but always confirm with your insurer.

How do I know a specialist is board certified?

Look up the doctor at certificationmatters.org (American Board of Medical Specialties) — board certification is voluntary and a useful trust signal.

Are telehealth specialist visits available?

Yes for many specialties, including dermatology, psychiatry, endocrinology, and follow-up cardiology. Procedures still require in-person visits.
