FAQs

What is a primary care provider (PCP)?

A primary care provider (or PCP) is a doctor or, in some cases, a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, who sees patients for everyday medical issues, such as colds and annual wellness visits. PCPs are often your first point of contact for general health concerns.
