Who or what is a PCP?
A PCP is your primary care physician, the first person to contact for medical assistance. Your PCP manages your routine health care needs and will refer you to a specialist if the needed medical treatment is outside his/her field of expertise. PCP’s are usually trained in family practice, general practice, internal medicine, or pediatrics. In many health care plans, an OB/GYN may also qualify to be a PCP.
