Will I always see my assigned primary care provider
Your primary care provider is a member of your care team, and while he or she will continue to oversee your care, there may be instances where your needs are better met by different team members. The care you receive from different team members will be discussed with your primary care provider. Over time, our hope is that you will get to know the members of your team and gain confidence in the care that they are able to offer.

You and your care team will determine the preventive health schedule that's best for you. If you're concerned about health issues, don't wait for an annual exam. Call your care team to determine what kind of care is right for you.

Should I expect to receive a reminder each year about my need for preventive services or an annual examination
If you're unsure whether you are due for a preventive exam, and this was not addressed at a previous visit, we encourage you to call and discuss this with a care team member.How can I refill a prescription
If you filled your prescription at another pharmacy, you'll need to make the request to that pharmacy directly. If needed, your pharmacist will contact you for more information or a renewal from your provider.

Please allow about 10 days to receive your prescription.
Why should I contact my primary care team first for specialty issues instead of going directly to the specialty area
Your primary care team is your first point of contact for all your health care needs. On some occasions, it may be more convenient for you to call dermatology, ophthalmology and other specialists as determined by their policy.
