When you sign up with First Medical, you must choose a doctor or Primary Care Physician (PCP). This is the main person you will see for most of your health care. This includes checkups, treatment for colds and flu, health concerns, and health screenings. Your PCP can find and treat health problems early. He or she will have your medical records. Your PCP can see your whole health care picture. Your PCP keeps track of all of the care you get.

There are different types of doctors who are PCP’s, like:

• General Practitioners
• Family Physicians
• Pediatricians
• Gynecologists/Obstetricians
• Internists

You must choose a PCP for each insured member in your family. Your family members can have different PCP’s.

If you are a woman over age twelve (12), you can also choose a gynecologist to be your PCP. If you are pregnant, your PCP could be your obstetrician during your pregnancy. When your pregnancy ends you will go back to your regular doctor, but your gynecologist will still take care of your gynecological needs. You may choose a pediatrician or a family physician for your newborn or one will be chosen for you.

To choose your PCP, call First Medical at 1-844-347-7800; TTY/TDD users should call 1-844-347-7805. If you do not choose one, then one will be chosen for you.

A Primary Medical Group is a group of doctors that help arrange your health care services and work with First Medical to make sure you get the care you need. Your ID card shows the name of your PCP and your Primary Medical Group number.
