Does your doctor fit your needs?

Choosing the right doctor to coordinate your care is important.

Choosing a doctor — your Primary Care Physician (PCP) — who is responsible for helping you coordinate your care is important to your overall health. Your PCP¹ is someone who:

• Identifies and treats common medical conditions.
• Provides preventive care and counseling on healthy lifestyle choices.
• Helps coordinate specialty and follow-up care.

When choosing a participating doctor, do you want a doctor who:

• Is board certified?
• Has special training to meet your unique needs?
• Has admitting privileges at the hospital of your choice?

Once you select a participating doctor, call his or her office to find out:

• Is it easy to get an appointment?
• Are the office hours convenient for you?
• Is the office staff friendly and helpful?
• Does the office return calls on a timely basis?
