How to Choose a Primary Care Physician

Selecting a primary care physician (PCP) is a great first step in taking control of your health. Your primary care doctor will be the doctor that you visit the most and will be your first point of care when addressing your health care needs.

A few things to consider when selecting a primary care physician:

1. Learn which PCPs are in your insurance network

2. Find out which PCP office is most convenient to your location

3. Research which PCPs have the expertise to best meet your needs

4. Learn more about the types of appointments PCPs offer that you may require (ex: telehealth, same-day appointments, annual visits, etc.)

5. Find out if the PCP you are interested in visiting is accepting new patients
