What is a PCP?
A PCP is a “primary care physician” you choose from the Aetna network to provide your routine and preventive care. While you must select a PCP for the traditional Aetna Golden Medicare Plan® (HMO), you are not required to select a PCP for the Aetna Golden Medicare Open Access HMO plan, the Aetna Golden Choice™ Plan (PPO) or the Aetna Medicare OpenSM Plan (PFFS). However, if you do choose a PCP with our PPO plan, you will pay a lower copay for office visits. Our plan specialists can help you find a doctor who meets your needs. You can also use Find a Doctor or our provider directory to look for HMO or PPO doctors. To find doctors for PFFS, visit www.medicare.gov and select Find a Doctor under Search tools.
