Healthcare can be a confusing topic these days.  With all of the national and state changes, doctor visits, co-pays, insurance claims, specialist visits and follow-up appointments, many people tend to skip a regular health check-up with a primary care physician.

All of your care begins with this main physician, the PCP.  He or she is the one who coordinates and directs your care and is the contact physician for the initial and follow-up visits.

Of course, you are always able to select a specialist on your own.  However your trusted PCP knows the community or local specialists and is familiar with the credentials and qualifications of the specialists that he/she refers.  So, you can have confidence in the choice.

First and foremost, determine if the doctor (specialist) is in network with your provider (PCP) that you choose. Also make sure they accept the insurance plan you have chosen. Then consider how close the doctor’s office is to your home or workplace. Make sure you visit the office and talk to the staff to determine your compatibility and your comfort with the office dynamic. You can also research physician’s credentials on many websites.

It is up to you to do research and to see if this is what you want.
