Your Primary Care Provider (PCP)

The main doctor you see is called a Primary Care Provider, or PCP. When you see the same PCP over time, it’s easier to develop a relationship with them. Each family member can have their own PCP, or you may all choose to see the same person. You will see your PCP for:

  • Routine care, including yearly checkups
  • Coordinate your care with a specialist
  • Treatment for colds and flu
  • Other health concerns

You have options

You can choose between many types of network providers for your PCP. Some types of PCPs include:

  • Family doctor (also called a general practitioner) — cares for children and adults
  • Internal medicine doctor (also called an internist) — cares for adults
  • Nurse Practitioner (NP) — cares for children and adults
  • Pediatrician — cares for children
  • Physician Assistant (PA) — cares for children and adults

What is a Network Provider?

Network Providers have contracted with UnitedHealthcare Community Plan to care for our members. You don’t need to call us before seeing one of these providers. Sometimes members need to see a very specialized type of doctor. We will work with your PCP to make sure you get the specialist or service when you need it, for as long as you need it, even if the provider is not currently a network provider. There is no cost to you when we authorize the care or service in advance, before you see the non-network provider.

If you see a specialist without being sent by your PCP and without UnitedHealthcare Community Plan authorization in advance advance, you may have to pay the bill. Always work with your PCP first for any services you need.

How to change your PCP

Member Services will help make sure that the PCP you want to switch to is a participating provider with UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. They will also check to be sure the PCP you want to switch to is accepting new patients. Members can change their PCP monthly. 

If you change during your first month of membership, you PCP change will be effective immediately. After your first month of membership, your PCP change will take effect the first day of the next month. We will send you a new ID card with your new PCP listed. We will also let you know when you can start seeing your new PCP. Download the PCP Change form. 

If you have questions? Visit myuhc.com/CommunityPlan or call Member Services at 1-800-895-2017, TTY 711.

The provider must first get approval from us to see you, or you may be billed. See pages 13-15 of the Handbook on getting prior approval (prior authorization) for services.
