A primary care physician (PCP) is the first point of contact for a patient with a medical or health concern. He or she will educate, advise and guide you with all of your health care needs. Your PCP can be a doctor of Internal Medicine or a nurse practitioner who focuses on primary care. Having a PCP is important because he or she can determine when you need to see a specialist, help you find the right specialist and coordinate all of your care. Some health care insurers require a referral from your PCP before you can see a specialist, which can take up to 48 hours for approval.

Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are board certified providers who practice in both inpatient and outpatient primary and specialty medical settings. They provide physical examinations, diagnose and treat illnesses, prescribe medications, order and interpret laboratory tests and educate patients about healthy lifestyle choices. Today, patients rely on Nurse Practitioners to provide high quality, individualized care and are a clear solution for patient-centered accessible health care. Most major insurance companies accept Nurse Practitioners.
