At Independence Blue cross, we recognize that primary care providers (PCPs) play a central role in your overall health and wellness. They are the central hub of your health care, monitoring preventive care, managing chronic conditions, and coordinating health care services. They serve as your first point of contact when you have a health question or concern. After evaluating you, if they determine your health condition is out of their scope, they will refer you to a specialist.

Types of Primary Care Providers in Pennsylvania

The term “primary care provider” encompasses a variety of health care providers, including family physicians, internists, pediatricians, and nurse practitioners. Although they all serve as your primary point of contact when you have a health question or concern, there are slight differences in what they do and who they treat.

ADVERTISEMENT

Family physicians:Family physicians treat people of all ages, from infants and children to young adults and older adults. Having a family physician is helpful because you have one point person for your whole family, no matter their age. A family physician knows your whole family’s medical history and can provide more personalized care.

Internists:Internists, or internal medicine doctors, only care for adults. They can treat both simple and complex conditions from early adulthood through old age. Internists may overlap with family physicians in the care of teens and adults, but the difference is internists do not treat infants and children.

Pediatricians:Pediatricians specialize in the care of children of all ages, including infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. They treat illness, injury, and chronic conditions. Pediatricians may overlap with family physicians (who also treat infants, children, and teens) but the difference is that family physicians also treat adults, whereas pediatricians do not.

Nurse practitioners: Nurse practitioners (NPs) are registered nurses with a four-year college degree and a graduate-level degree. In Pennsylvania, NPs can perform physical exams, order and review lab tests, prescribe medication, and diagnose and treat acute and chronic disease and conditions. Some NPs treat all patients, whereas others can specialize in, pediatrics or women’s health, for example. NPs provide the same high-quality care as a doctor, and in some cases, may even have more experience than a doctor.

How to Find a PCP in Pennsylvania

If you’re looking for a new PCP in Pennsylvania, start by asking your family, friends, neighbors, and other health care professionals for referrals.

Online resources are also valuable tools when it comes to finding a doctor in Pennsylvania. You can use insurance provider directories, research health care networks, and read health care provider reviews to find PCPs in Pennsylvania.

How to Find a Good Doctor: Researching and Evaluating Primary Care Providers in Pennsylvania

It’s important to do your research when evaluating PCPs, including reviewing their credentials, checking patient reviews and ratings, and scheduling initial consultations. You should consider their location, what insurance they accept, their experience, and their communication style.

When evaluating whether a doctor is a good fit, use this list to make sure you’re covering all your bases.

Check credentials and qualifications.

Verify that the doctor is board-certified in their specialty and has the necessary training and qualifications. You can usually find this information on their clinic website or through professional medical boards.

Consider location and accessibility.

Choose a doctor whose clinic is conveniently located and easily accessible from your home or workplace. Consider factors such as parking availability, public transportation options, and office hours.

Review office policies.

Inquire about office policies regarding appointments, scheduling, after-hours care, prescription refills, and insurance coverage. Make sure the doctor’s office accepts your health insurance plan.

Check for red flags.

Trust your instincts and avoid health care providers who raise concerns or make you feel uncomfortable. Be wary of doctors with a history of disciplinary actions, malpractice claims, or poor patient reviews.

Consider referrals.

Ask for recommendations from friends, family members, or other health care providers. Personal referrals can provide valuable insight into a doctor’s bedside manner, expertise, and quality of care.

Making the First Appointment with a PCP in Pennsylvania

Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, schedule an initial consultation with the doctor to see if they are a good fit. When scheduling your initial consultation, contact the provider’s office and provide the necessary insurance and medical history information. You should also prepare a list of any questions or concerns you may have.

At the consultation, come prepared to discuss your health concerns, ask questions, and assess compatibility. Think of it as an interview. This is your chance to get to know the doctor. You can determine if you feel comfortable with them, if they listen to you and validate your questions/concerns, and if you feel you are compatible with them.

Finding the Right PCP in Pennsylvania

Your primary care doctor plays a big role in your overall health, so it’s important to take the time to do your research and find the doctor that’s right for you and your health care needs.

And if you choose someone that ends up not being right for you? It’s okay to make a change and find someone new. You want to build a trusted relationship with your doctor, so it needs to feel right. Finding a doctor that you click with makes all the difference when it comes to getting better health outcomes.

With this comprehensive guide, you can take the first step towards finding Dr. Right.
