Frequently asked questions
What does a primary care doctor do?
Primary care doctors — family medicine and internal medicine physicians — are your first stop for annual physicals, preventive screenings, vaccinations, and new or ongoing health concerns. They manage chronic conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes and refer you to specialists when you need one.
Do I need a referral to see a primary care doctor?
No — you can usually book with a primary care provider directly. Your primary care provider is often the one who writes referrals to specialists.
How do I find a primary care doctor who takes my insurance?
Doctors contract with specific insurance networks, not entire insurance companies — and sometimes only at certain offices. Once you've found a few options here, check them in your insurer's online directory or call the member services number on your card, then confirm with the office when you book.
How do I get my medical records from a primary care doctor?
Under HIPAA you have a right to a copy of your records, usually within 30 days of asking. Contact the practice's medical records department and make your request in writing. Our free guide walks through the process and includes a request letter template.
