Where to go for care
Primary care
The right setting can save you time and money. An important part of staying healthy is finding a doctor—often called a primary care provider (PCP)—who is your main contact for routine visits. Your PCP knows you and your medical history and is your best bet for general health management. If you don’t have one, you can find a PCP online or call the customer service number on the back of your ID card.
Reasons to have a PCP:
- Improve your health - Get the care you need when you need it
- Lower your out-of-pocket costs - Avoid duplicate tests and prescriptions, costly visits to the emergency room and inpatient hospital stays
- Increase your quality of care - Your PCP sees the big-picture view of your health and can often determine the cause of an illness
Selecting a PCP in your network may help you save money. Not all PCPs are doctors. Some are nurse practitioners or physician assistants, and all are qualified to treat you.

Urgent care or walk-in clinic
Sometimes you want to see a doctor as soon as possible, but you’re not worried it’s a life-threatening problem. Urgent care may be appropriate if you have a need that requires timely in-person medical attention (but is not severe or life-threatening). Issues like sprains, x-rays, minor broken bones, infections, burns, minor cuts and fever.
Most urgent care/walk-in clinics have extended hours and serve patients on a first-come, first-served basis. But be aware: You may pay more out of pocket. Call to make sure an urgent care/walk-in clinic is part of your network.
Emergency care
Emergency care is for health problems that may occur suddenly and unexpectedly. If your life or health is in danger unless you get immediate medical help, an emergency room is where you should be.
Be aware: Unless you have a true emergency medical condition, the ER can be an incredibly expensive place to get care. Emergency care is covered by your insurance. But nonemergency care delivered in an ER could stick you with a huge bill. If you have time, check to be sure the ER (especially those not attached to a hospital) is in your network.
