Changing a Primary Care Physician
Changing Your Primary Care Physician (PCP)
You will receive or have your health care services arranged by your PCP. Our PCPs include doctors trained in family practice, internal medicine, and pediatrics. When you joined GlobalHealth, you and your family members chose a PCP or were assigned a PCP if one was not selected during enrollment.
GlobalHealth believes the relationship between patient and physician is an important one. It develops over time, as trust and familiarity grow. Your doctor will manage all of your health care needs to see that you receive a treatment plan that's best for you. Your PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN is responsible for all of your treatment, including referrals to specialists.
We recommend against changing Primary Care Physician if one or more of the following circumstances exist:
-
The change could have an adverse effect on the quality of your health care.
-
If you are an organ transplant candidate.
-
If you have an unstable, acute medical condition for which you are receiving active medical care.
-
If you are in your third trimester of your pregnancy.
