Choose Your Doctor
When you are an MCO Medicaid member, you may choose your own doctor, clinic or other health provider to manage your health care. This is your Primary Care Provider (PCP). Your PCP will:
- Get to know you and your health care needs.
-
Refer you to specialists when you need them
When you are sick or need a checkup, call your PCP to make an appointment.
